Cascades Golf Course
About Cascades Golf Course
Cascades Golf Course in Jackson, Michigan opens with back-to-back par fives. The first plays downhill from tee to green and, at 573 yards from the back tees, is the longest hole on the course, though the drop in elevation makes it play shorter. Trees run the length of the left side, favoring an approach down the right.
The second par five is reachable in two for players who carry the crest of the hill roughly 250 yards off the tee, leaving less than 250 yards to one of the smallest and most undulating greens on the property, where a missed approach leaves a difficult scramble for par.

The following downhill par 4 is bounded by out of bounds to the left and trees to the right, calling for an accurate drive that sets up a mid to short iron. A severe ridge bisecting the green puts a premium on distance control.
