Strength of field

The championship flight typically draws the region's best amateurs, with recent winners posting scores in the mid-to-high 130s over 36 holes.

Course expectations

Cascades' challenging length, tight tree-lined fairways, water features, and severely sloped greens—especially on the signature par-4 17th—will test accuracy and course management throughout both rounds.
