Best Playing Conditions Award 2019 by GreensKeeper.org
Best Playing Conditions Award 2019 by GreensKeeper.org

This year GreensKeeper.org awards Cascata Best Playing Conditions 2019 for the Southern Nevada.

Not to be confused with “Worth the Green Fee,” “Best Playing Conditions” is awarded to golf courses open to the public listed on Greenskeeper.org that stand out above the rest with our site users at providing consistently the best greens, fairways, rough, tee boxes and bunkers around.

The job of the superintendent is the life blood of the golf course and most important contributing factor to enjoying a golf experience.  A golf course is a living, breathing organism whose health is constantly in flux.  It takes enormous dedication, resources and expertise by a superintendent and their staff to provide excellent turf conditions. 

The rating system used on Greenskeeper.org is in part created by superintendents.  GreensKeeper.org’s trademark and creed, “Know Before You Go”®, centers on communicating these current playing conditions. 

How Awards Winners Are Determined

Golf Course reviews and ratings submitted by our 78,000+ Greenskeeper.org community are tabulated over 12 months. Winners are determined for each area.

We divide awards into 11 sections —  Inland Empire, Los Angeles County, Orange County, Palm Springs Area, San Diego County, Santa Barbara County, Ventura County, Southern California, Central California, Northern California and Southern Nevada.

Playing Conditions 8.03 GREAT
Playing Conditions 8.03 GREAT

Drove up from Orange County yesterday to play.  Took a little over an hour to get there and same coming back. I hadn’t played here in a few years and was excited to come back for the views and course conditions.

Starting with the customer service that you would expect at a course for this price I was pretty disappointed. It doesn’t take much to keep me happy from a check in point of view but customer service was rough.

Next the layout, tee boxes and scorecard do not match up. We were looking for a challenge and tipped it out to find that multiple tee boxes that used to be there are not there and the scorecard needs updating.

The course layout and flow really doesn’t make much sense and the cart path routing is really poor. There is hardly a hole where you don’t park your cart and walk back up a hill 50-100 yards to get to the back tees. There are par 5s that should be par 4s and par 4s that should be par 5s, really no rhyme or reason to the way they have this course playing, from the tips at least.

As far as conditioning of the course goes, it was about what you’d expect. Very nice greens, quick with a lot of undulation. Fairways, tee boxes, and rough were in good shape. Bunkers were a little hit or miss, not quite what I’d expect from a course in this price range but not horrible. Got on for 100 dollars which I feel is a pretty fair price. I wouldn’t come back and pay over 150 mainly for my dislike of the layout and distance to get to the course from OC, but it was fun to see the views and putt on some nice greens.

Played today, using the over 55 discount ($65, including cart). The course is in decent condition, with only one very saturated area just left of 17 green. As far as all the recent rains go, the course must drain rather well. The fairways and rough were mostly dormant Bermuda grass, cut low most everywhere. Great rollout on poorly hit tee shots, but tight lies as you approach most greens. Tees were mostly lush and level. Greens rolled fast and true with very subtle breaks. There was plenty of soft, white sand in the few bunkers I was in today. POP was about 4.5 hours, okay for a holiday of sorts (to paraphrase the previous reviewer). Go out and play, Monday and Tuesday are reduced rates for 55 years or older and nearby residents.

Played my free birthday round at Angeles National with a friend and two of his buddies, and really enjoyed the course immensely. It was my first time to ANGC and I simply loved the layout and the variety of long and short holes, along with the tremendous mountain scenery and really good conditions. The fairways are currently in that dormant yellow stage, but they play very nicely no matter the color. The rough is a deep, verdant green though, which makes the contrast very stunning indeed. The greens are super tough though – fast and so many tricky slopes and undulations – couldn’t catch up all day, but nothing but good things to say about their condition overall. I found the bunkers to be in fine shape – nice, fluffy sand greenside, and thinner traps to hit out of cleanly from the fairways. And the tee boxes were all in excellent shape. Loved the variety of tee boxes as well to choose from (we played the blue tees). There’s not a lot of elevation at ANGC to worry about, but there are plenty of difficult shots and carries that will eat your ball supply if wayward. The native areas are in play on pretty much every hole so you must be very clean and precise. The course is definitely fair though. Fair, but very tough. The very fast greens also make approach shots something of an adventure every single time. And some of your second shot carries will make those palms sweat! Free is a pretty great price to pay for this place – thanks for the hospitality. But I will definitely be rewarding ANGC with my actual hard-earned money in the near future – it’s very much worth it and I want a chance to redeem myself on those greens and shoot a better score. POP was great although I did feel bad for the threesome behind us as my crew, despite my hints to speed things up, were very deliberate on every shot and simply took too long to get moving. I’ll do better next time to be more vocal, but we were approached by a marshall starting the back 9 (actually the front 9 for us as we started on 10) and did pick up the pace thankfully. Not much more to add than that, but I really wonder what took me so long to get out here other than fear of a really high price and a course that would simply beat me up. Now that I know I can handle this track, the price worries me less. It’s worth it. Really nice place.

Why Did We Expand the Regions?

It’s simple.  Greenskeeper.org has been growing.  We expanded the number of regions because golfers like you have reported about golf course conditions of the golf courses you play.  In short golfers come to us if they want informative, relevant golf course reviews and it’s all due to your, our GK Community’s, diligence.  You let us know your experiences and well if we hear about it everyone else does too.

Why so Many Regions?

Golf is an experience and every experience is unique.  Different golf courses offer different experiences.  What we look for in golf course reviews offers a little insight into every golf course we play.  Not just one point of view but many, and by providing many different points of view you get a clearer picture of what each golf course has to offer.  To that end we felt it necessary to provide regions with their own highlighted golf course.  Local players can enjoy the fact there is a great facility they can play just around their corner.  Golfers looking to experience new golf courses can play these and experience first-hand these unique golf experiences.  Put simply, we allow not just your high-end. daily fee courses to shine but the local municipal as well.  They all deserve a fair shot and they all deserve to shine.

Look for additional Golf Course highlights from our Best Playing Conditions for 2016.

Played 12-7-16 early morning walking in about 3 hours joining a threesome in carts. Tee boxes are in descent shape, a little thin, some un-level, and shorter par fours and three pars with some divot damage. Fairways were in okay shape, semi-lush with some thin areas and some bare spots. Rough is mostly cut pretty low with some thicker areas and some bare spots. Didn’t go in any bunkers but they looked okay. Greens were in nice shape, medium/fast, rolling pretty true with an occasional bump, and holding shots real nice. Good course for a quick morning round.

My first time playing here yesterday. We had a 7:30 tee time at Rustic Canyon but the winds were so strong that the course was unplayable so we headed to De Bell. When we arrived there was no winds at all…..we got right out and enjoyed our round however this is not my style of course. Many holes are gimmicky and you would have to hit irons off of many tees. We enjoyed ourselves but no-one really felt the course had a wow factor that would bring us back. The tee boxes were mostly level, the greens were nice and had many breaks so were difficult but fun, the sand was okay, and the fairways were very spotty with GUR marked in many locations. You definitely have to hit every type of golf shot here to score well. Chipping, bump and run, lob shots, and tee shot placement are all needed. Great place to practice with a 4 hour pace for our foursome.
