West at Cascade Hills Country Club

Cascade Hills Country Club's West Course is located in the southeastern suburbs of Grand Rapids, Michigan, in an area characterized by rolling terrain and mature hardwood forests typical of western Michigan's glacial landscape. Designed by Jack Daray, a Michigan-based architect active in the mid-to-late twentieth century, the course reflects the regional design sensibilities of its era, with tree-lined fairways and elevation changes that take advantage of the natural topography.

The routing works through wooded corridors and across varied terrain, with holes that rise and fall along the property's contours. Water features appear on several holes, adding strategic considerations to club selection and approach play. The course layout emphasizes accuracy off the tee, as the tree-lined fairways reward proper positioning and penalize errant shots. Greens are typically elevated or protected by bunkers, requiring thoughtful approach shots.

Cascade Hills serves as a private club for the Grand Rapids community, offering traditional country club amenities including dining facilities and social programming. The club maintains both the West Course and additional golf facilities, providing members with variety in their playing options. The course remains a fixture in the Grand Rapids golf landscape, representing the style of mid-century American course design adapted to Michigan's natural setting.
