Rees Jones fairways in the River Mountains, with a stream running through the clubhouse.
Cascata sits in the foothills of the River Mountains above Boulder City, about 22 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, behind its own gates. It was built as a showpiece and still plays like one: a par-72 Rees Jones course, a Tuscan-style clubhouse with a waterfall-fed stream running through it, and a forecaddie with every group. For years it was largely reserved for big-spending casino guests. Today anyone can book, and the club cites a 2025 ranking that placed it second among Nevada’s public-access courses. It is the most expensive round in the valley, so it pays to know how the day works before you commit.
Cascata is open to the public, with no hotel stay required. Book online through the club’s tee-time page or by phone on (702) 294-2005. Reservations for up to 16 players open 120 days ahead, and there is a waitlist if your time is taken. Groups of 17 or more go through the events team. Pricing is dynamic, so the club publishes only “starting at” rates, which move with demand and availability. The green fee covers 18 holes, a shared cart, warm-up on the range and one forecaddie per group. Cancellations, including cutting the number of players, need 72 hours’ notice, and the booker is charged for no-shows. Groups smaller than four may be paired, and the club can move your time by 15 minutes either way.
Rees Jones opened Cascata in 2000, and GolfPass puts the build cost at around US$70 million. The club describes the course as soaring 3,200 feet above the desert valley, and the routing climbs and drops through rocky foothills, with desert scrub between the turf and the bare slopes. Water is everywhere for a desert course. A stream runs along the left of the opening hole, a lake guards the front-left of the 216-yard 4th, and the short 7th is built into a canyon, with bunkers and a river guarding the green. At the 12th, a par three, a waterfall drops down the mountainside behind the putting surface. The club calls the 13th a signature hole: a severe dogleg left from an elevated tee to a green among red rock outcrops. The round ends on a 559-yard double-dogleg par five where the river turns across the fairway; the club’s advice is less than driver, then a lay-up to leave a wedge.
Leave a full day. The club quotes a standard pace of four and a half to five hours, and asks you to be ready to start 15 minutes before your tee time. Carts are compulsory and outside food and drink is not allowed, so plan on the clubhouse restaurant, the drinks cart or a lunch delivered to the course. Rental sets are recent TaylorMade or Callaway clubs from US$130 with six balls and a glove, but there are no junior sets and no shoe hire. Ship Sticks partners with the club if you want to send your own bag ahead. The dress code asks for golf shirts, golf trousers or walking shorts, and soft-spike or athletic shoes.
Most visitors fly into Harry Reid International (LAS). The club suggests allowing 30 to 45 minutes by road from the airport or the Strip, depending on traffic, and it is served by Uber, Lyft and taxis. Rental cars are collected from the airport’s off-site centre, 10 to 15 minutes from the terminals. The green fee does not include ground transport, and the club lists private limousine firms as another option.

There are no rooms at Cascata, so most golfers stay on the Strip and drive out. Caesars Rewards members get green-fee discounts by tier for themselves and up to three guests, which makes a Caesars hotel a natural base if you already hold the card. For a quieter night closer to the first tee, Boulder City’s small historic centre has independent motels and inns, and the Lake Las Vegas resorts in Henderson, the Westin and the Hilton, are about 20 minutes north.
Cascata’s Double Down package pairs a round here with Serket, the club’s sister course in Henderson, which the club describes as a player’s course with views of the Strip. Both rounds must fall within five calendar days, and the club lists summer packages from US$525 and autumn packages from US$750. Reflection Bay at Lake Las Vegas is a short drive north. Away from golf, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead are minutes from Boulder City, and the town’s old streets are worth an evening stroll.
These packages have a confirmed round at Cascata Golf Club in the itinerary, with the other courses, nights and hotels listed so you can compare like with like.

Prices are Golfbreaks’ published per-person guide prices in US dollars, checked November 2026; your quote depends on dates and group size. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. How we work
Las Vegas golf peaks from February to May and again from September to November, when tee sheets and dynamic prices both climb. Winter mornings can be cold at this height, and from November to February the light goes early. Summer brings searing afternoons, but the prices drop, as the US$525 summer Double Down rate shows.
Explore golf by monthAnyone can book. GolfPass recounts that Cascata was long reserved for big spenders at its casino owner’s resorts, but it now runs as a public-access course managed by The Cabot Collection. Caesars Rewards members still get tiered discounts for up to four players, and outside groups of up to 16 can book online or through the golf shop.
Cascata uses dynamic pricing and does not publish a fixed rack rate. Prices move with demand and season, and your quote includes the forecaddie, a shared cart and use of the practice facilities before play, but not the tip. A standby replay round is listed at US$199 plus the tip, and Caesars Rewards members get tiered discounts.
Yes. One forecaddie per group comes with the green fee. The tip is extra and up to you; the club suggests at least US$40 per player. Bringing your own caddie is not allowed, and the club may remove anyone found caddying without permission.
