The Course
About Cascata
Cascata is sculpted from canyon walls in Boulder City, featuring one of the most dramatic golf settings in the desert. Rees Jones' design utilizes vertical elevation changes exceeding 300 feet, creating a course that feels more like climbing a golf mountain than playing a golf course. The dramatic waterfalls, native desert landscape, and exclusive membership combine to create an unparalleled luxury golf experience.
History
Cascata — History
Rees Jones built Cascata in the foothills of the River Mountain Range outside Boulder City, on ground that sits roughly 3,200 feet above the Las Vegas valley. The par 72 routing follows the canyon rather than flattening it, and a stream runs the length of the property and straight through the clubhouse, a Tuscan-styled building that gives the course its name: cascata is Italian for waterfall. Forecaddies are included with every round. Bighorn sheep are a common sight on the slopes above the fairways.
Design
Cascata — Design
Jones designed Cascata around the natural canyon topology, maximizing dramatic elevation changes and scenic vistas. The course embraces the vertical landscape with holes that plummet into canyons and climb back out. Strategic bunkering frames each hole, water features cascade naturally, and the conditioning reflects exclusive membership standards. Every hole offers distinct visual drama.
What Sets It Apart
Why Play Cascata
Cascata is the rare Las Vegas-area course that plays vertically: Rees Jones routed it through Boulder City canyon walls with more than 300 feet of elevation change, and access runs through Caesars rather than a public booking engine.
The Round
The Journey at Cascata
I.
The Opening
Cascata starts by climbing. The 367-yard 1st plays uphill with a river down the left, and the 427-yard 2nd, uphill again past a fairway bunker on the left, is the No. 1 handicap. Long hitters can try to reach the par-5 3rd in two from an elevated tee. A lake guards the front left of the 216-yard 4th, the 523-yard 5th bends slightly left on its way uphill, and the 6th doglegs right to a severely sloped green.
II.
The Middle
The 157-yard 7th is built into the canyon, its green heavily guarded by bunkers and a river. The 8th, a dogleg right to an elevated green, rates No. 3, and the 9th and 10th run straight toward the mountains at 467 and 466 yards. On the 346-yard 11th a pond sits at the end of the fairway, and the 165-yard 12th plays beneath a waterfall running down the mountainside, with a river left of the green.
III.
The Finish
The club's signature hole is the 469-yard 13th, a severe dogleg left to a green set among red rock outcroppings. A river runs the full right side of the 14th and a pond guards the front right of its green. Bunkers flank the 212-yard 15th, the 508-yard 16th winds uphill through jagged rock, the 489-yard 17th doglegs left as the No. 2 handicap, and the 559-yard 18th is a double dogleg crossed by the river.
How to Play It
Cascata — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
Carts are required and a forecaddie is included with every group, so ask for the line on each tee. Follow the club's own advice and take less than driver on the 11th, where a pond waits at the end of the fairway, and on the 18th, laying up to a wedge. On the 7th, a lower shot to the middle of the green stays clear of the river.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
The first two holes climb, so the 367-yard 1st and 427-yard 2nd play longer than the card says. On the 6th, keep the drive down the left for the angle and stay away from the greenside bunker on the right. On the 13th, aim the approach at the right side, which feeds the ball onto the green, while a bunker waits on the left.
Advanced / Low Handicap
At 7,153 yards with a 141 slope from the back, the par 5s carry the scoring: the 3rd invites a go in two from its elevated tee, and the 16th's wide fairway sets up a real chance if the approach avoids the front-left bunker. Cutting the dogleg on the 17th leaves a short approach, but three bunkers guard the front and back right corners.
