The front nine at Cassel Hills is relatively flat, while the back nine is hillier. So golfers get to play two different golf courses in one round. And with five par 3s, the course plays longer that its yardage. Opened in 1974, Cassel Hills has never been an easy course and when Cassel Hill regulars play in local and even state tournaments, they tend to fare well because Cassel Hills requires total concentration and commitment from the first tee to the last green. However, the higher handicap golfer or beginner should not feel that the course is purely for the better player. Played from the correct set of tees, the course is still playable, and, most importantly, enjoyable.
