CASCATA GOLF CLUB (2000)

 

DESERT REGION

Private Resort - 18 hole: cost $350 - $500

One Cascata Drive, Boulder City, NV 89005

Tel: (702) 294-2000

Designed by Rees Jones. This magnificent Rees Jones layout sits high above the road from Las Vegas to the Boulder Dam. It is eminently playable with breathtaking views and bold, but restrained bunkering. The immaculate greens putt very smooth and fast. Over $60 million was spent on this wonder of the golfing world. The course is only open to guests of the Caesar's Entertainment Las Vegas properties. From the Las Vegas Center Strip (about 30 miles to the course). Take 215 to 515/95 South. Follow 515/95 South toward Boulder City. Before entering Boulder City, take the Laughlin/Bullhead City exit. At the stop sign turn left. Drive under the highway and railroad over­passes. Proceed straight up the hill to the Cascata gate. This ultra-private resort club takes over where Shadow Creek left off. The service and facilities are not equaled, especially when only a handful visit the course. If you have the rare opportunity to enjoy the experience, you will gain a glimpse of how the rich and famous play.

CASSERLY GOLF COURSE (1966)

CENTRAL COAST REGION

Public - 9 hole: cost $5-$5

626 Casserly Road, Watsonville, CA 95076

Tel: (831) 724-1654

Designed by Robert Sanford. The following description was supplied by the Casserly Golf Course. Small par-3 course that does not seek out-of-town play. From San Jose (about 45 miles south to the course): Take US 101 south. Take Highway 152 west toward Watsonville. Turn right at the stop sign at Casserly Road. Drive two miles to the course. I don't know what is meant by, not seeking out-of-town play, but if you do decide to play Casserly, don't tell them we sent you.
