While Southern Nevada is home to lots of very nice golf courses, one of the most beautiful is definitely Cascata. Located just east of Henderson and close to Boulder City, it's tucked away on the mountain side. The elevation gives it some great views as well as challenging holes. One of my favorite things about this course and facility is that because it's off he beaten path, the setting quieter and pace is like you're the only ones on the course. There's a private gate to the entrance and no houses along the course. When you get to the clubhouse I was greeted by both a valet and a lovely hostess - they took care of the car, my clubs and escorted me into the clubhouse.
Inside, everything is classy and laid out nicely. Men's and women's locker rooms, pro shop, bar, restaurant, billiards room etc. One of the first striking water features is a waterfall/stream running through the center of the clubhouse. Just a beautiful design and well maintained!
The putting greens and driving range are also both very nice, with another waterfall behind the driving range coming down the mountain.
This course does have a mandatory Caddie rule - so when you're ready to head outside, your Caddie meets you at your cart inside on the lower level; then will stay with you at the driving range and putting greens, then on the course, until you're finished with your round. You must use The clubs Caddies, but if you're been before, you can request a specific one b at the time you make your tee times. The mandatory minimum Caddie fees are separate from greens fees, and are payable in cash directly to your Caddie.
The cart ladies had the usual beverages and snacks available for purchase. The were very friendly and courteous.
18 holes later, I was as relaxed and happy as I can remember- regardless of how much I suck at the game. It was a great course to experience.
Back to the restaurant, grabbed an early lunch. All food is made fresh to order, and the waitress and waitstaff were great! It should be noted that it is possible to make breakfast or lunch reservations even if you're not playing golf that day - but when you call in, they will let you know if that is possible. They do a large amount of private parties and weddings in peak months, which may put them at capacity on any given day.
To sum it up, this is one of my favorite places to play, and even the restaurant was good enough to make me want to come back for food. The entire staff couldn't be nicer, and the overall experience was like a nice day at a country club, more than a day at a public golf course.
