Course Report
The name 'Cascata' means 'waterfall' in Italian, referencing the course's signature 418-foot manmade waterfall that runs through the clubhouse and the course.
About
Cascata Golf Club, designed by renowned architect Rees Jones, offers an elite desert golf experience just 30 minutes from Las Vegas. The course winds through dramatic foothills with panoramic mountain views, lush fairways, lakes, and streams. Recognized nationally for its stunning setting and impeccable service, Cascata is a popular destination for both golfers and events.
Caddie Tip
Trust your caddie’s yardages and green reads—greens can be deceptive and fast. Play conservative lines off the tee, as the desert edges can be punishing. Approach shots tend to release on firm greens, so club selection is critical. Enjoy the scenery but stay focused; elevation changes affect club choice throughout the round.
The Main Challenge
Cascata rewards precise shotmaking—narrow fairways and dramatic elevation changes place a premium on accuracy rather than raw length. The greens are fast, sloped, and well protected by deep bunkers, with the swirling desert winds adding complexity. Water features come into play on several finishing holes, demanding full concentration to score well.
The Good
Golfers rave about the breathtaking mountain vistas, the tranquil setting, and the luxury service from arrival to finish. The dramatic landscape and thoughtful Rees Jones design create a memorable journey on every hole, while features like the iconic waterfall and the elegant clubhouse elevate the overall experience beyond most resort courses.
The Not So Good
Some golfers find the greens fee steep, noting the high cost can be a barrier for more frequent play. A few mention that the desert rough can be harsh for amateurs, and on hot summer days, temperatures can be challenging. Walkability is limited, requiring carts for most players.
