About this course
Cascata is a Rees Jones design that opened in 2000 in Boulder City, about 30 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. The par 72 course is built into the foothills of the River Mountain Range, with dramatic elevation changes, rugged desert terrain, lush fairways, streams and views toward the surrounding mountains. Jones describes Cascata as a "desert links," with the natural rock formations and undulating terrain shaping the routing.
The name Cascata means "waterfall" in Italian, and water is one of the course's most unusual features. A 418-foot man-made waterfall runs through the property, with water eventually flowing through the 37,000-square-foot Tuscan-style clubhouse. The course was routed through existing canyons and ancient dry stream beds, and Jones has said the natural terrain was a major part of what made the site so special.
The golf itself is defined by dramatic elevation changes, fast greens and elevated tees. The par 3 seventh is one of the standout holes, playing into a large green surrounded by a stream and tucked into a canyon. Cascata also requires a forecaddie, who is included with the golf experience.
