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.

Golf Course Conditions 8.38 GREAT
Golf Course Conditions 8.38 GREAT

Played 12/28/19 11AM on sunny mild winter day great weather. Earlier frost delay put us out a few minutes behind on the 10th tee 9’s usually reversed in frost conditions since the back 9 thaws first. Course plays better this way in my opinion. Pace of play was the bummer at 5:20 total for 18. Course conditions were near perfect with the exception of damp conditions due to winter rains. Cart path only and fairways offered a bit more roll than the week before. Arrived early enough to use all the practice areas. The chipping and sand trap area very similar to the course. The larger practice green near the 10th hole is more like what the course greens are like than the smaller warm-up green near the number one tee on top of a hill. The view from #1 tee is stunning. All greens rolling smooth and well kept.

The pace of play is not usually an issue here but with a frost delay it seems to back things up as our experience was similar to Guru rudyclub’s review from the day before. The quality of the course withstanding the slow play. 5+ hours is just too long for my liking.

Great weather, great course, great company, bluetooth speaker and the beverage cart made slow pace tolerable.
Always a recommend.

Golf Course Conditions 7.56 GREAT
Golf Course Conditions 7.56 GREAT

Little late on my review, apologies! Played 9/12 with Johnny GK, BGarcelon & Alex326. Really great group & it was an absolute pleasure to tee it up with these guys.

As previously stated, the course is solid: Great conditions, the layout is fun & interesting with a mix of elevation changes, doglegs & water. The greens are the defining feature of the course, just huge, medium-fast & undulating. You can easily leave yourself 100-ft+ putts on multiple greens & leaving your ball above the hole is a problem.

The staff were very friendly & the beverage cart came around at good intervals. Didn’t get food, but Alex had a breakfast burrito that looked delicious & was about the size of the greens out there. Pretty sure it took care of his breakfast, lunch & dinner.

Great course, great time! Will definitely be back soon.

What can you say about this course that hasn’t already been said? Just a fun and fantastic course to play. It was in all around great shape. Fairways lush. Not much roll but great. greens receptive, ran medium fast to fast and true. Was in a lot of traps and they were all great. If you are anywhere near here you have to play this course!

They now have a phone app that has a overhead view& yardage. The carts have GPS and seem to be accurate. The app has a nice feature to see the layout for first time players. The golf carts also have USB charging ports.

This is a spectacular golf track. It may seem like a bit of a drive from the bay area at first but you will see its not that far (just about 30 miles north of Highway 80 near Davis) and it is well worth it.
It is one of the most visually beautiful and best maintained courses in all of Northern California. I’ve had the good fortune to play the most iconic venues in the area including Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, Pasatiempo, and others. And I can say this course stands up to all of those in terms of the layout, the conditions and the enjoyability of playing it. And the staff and hospitality are tremendous.
This course is flat out one of my favorites and all of Northern California and I highly recommend it.

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.
