Wash your discs. The goose poop bacteria is the plague. Open course with little or no obsticles. Careful, this course can be unsafe due to criminal eliment, especially at dark.

Good course, just watch out for transients and goose poop.

Fun course that is mostly open and flat. Tons of goose poop but worth a play. Unless you have a big arm(400ft+), this course is still tough.

So much goose poop!! Fun course none the less. Careful of the first hole, it's a disc cemetery!

Very boring unless winds are high. No real obsticles just open hole after open hole. Maybe if more o.b. was implemented this course could be better.

Lack of course map and tee signs is costing the course a letter grade...

Cascades is a wide open course. There are concrete tee pads that do get a little slippery when wet and from the geese...
In the mornings when the wind is come it is a very fun course to go throw. If the wind picks up though discs do funny things and it is not so much fun.

After over a year of playing there the grass under the baskets is still there and a pet peeve of mine...

Lots 'o cigar sized goose turds. Fun place to play and practice the rollers , but definitely lacks shade/wind break and obstacles.

Nice course with a great mix of long and short holes, and trees in the first 9 and then a little to much open on the back 9, but overall great place to play and learn.

I like the course probably the one I play the most since its closest. But after the first 9 holes it feels like just back and forth straight shots.

Not a very good place right as of now (11/13/20), over run by homeless, I feel sad for them and hopefully the State, County or City can get them relief and return the course back to the nice beginner/intermediate course it was.

This course doesn't like when you throw Teebirds off the first tee pad. Not too shabby course. Not much variation. 18 holes. Cement tee pads.

No wind today. Sunny, warm and an awesome course. Pretty dry grass a possible fire danger for smokers. Great combination of long, short, technical and open shots. Blackberries can be a bit nasty but not too over-grown to keep your disc. Maintained very nicely. Needs more bathroom facilities and trash cans. A fun, smooth flowing course. Nice job, CCDGC!!

I liked the wind, but whoever designed this course was high, the first 7 or 8 holes are cool, then every shot after that is straight open field to a basket surrounded by sticker bushes.

this course is well maintained and easy to follow. just enough long holes and shorter holes and every week the baskets are relocated to change it a bit. love it or hate the wind is there and it can be your friend or foe...if you cant adapt go hide in the trees with the lil gingers on the south side of town with there meager 9 baskets, aposted to cascades awesome 18 baskets and premier t-pads. if a beast cries like a wee lil baby is he still a beast?

FUN Course. Nice Layout. Well taken care of course. Windy, but FUN. Good basket placements, long holes, short holes, just a good blend in general. One of my Favorites, other than it EATS my discs. :)

Great wide open spaces to work on new throws and different discs. Over the last few years it has only gotten better. With the addition of the trees, in several years it will be an entirely different course.
