Cascata Review
Cascata is a tranquil respite for vacationers to Las Vegas and avid golfers alike. Set 3,200 feet above the desert basin, Cascata is located only 30 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, but seems a world away.
The 37,000-square-foot clubhouse has a restaurant serving classic American food and a golf shop that carries the latest in equipment and apparel.
The 7,100-yard Rees Jones design is a lush landscape of waterfalls like the one guarding the left side of the uphill first hole. Dramatic vistas and challenging tee shots begin with the downhill par 5 third hole.
Especially noteworthy is the downhill par 3 7th hole with a waterfall dropping in toward the green's left. The long dogleg right 14th with creek and pond coming into play and the signature hole 18th are also standouts. The longer hitter can take this double dogleg par 5 over the hill to the left, while the rest are advised to choose the fairway on the right and play it as a three-shot hole.
Cascata has five separate creeks and waterfalls and four ponds. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. Just be careful of the wildlife like bighorn sheep crossing the cart path.
