About
Rio Secco Golf Club
Located
in the foothills of the Black Mountain Range, just 15 minutes southeast
of the Las Vegas Strip, Rio Secco Golf Club was designed by golf course
architect Rees Jones, aka “The Open Doctor” for his work on U.S. Open host
courses. Much like he has done to enhance and restore U.S. Open venues,
in 2017 Jones was brought back to Rio Secco for a course-wide renovation
that included complete green and bunker renovations. The par-72 course
can play from 5,258 yards to over 7,400 yards and features six holes through
steep canyons, six holes on a plateau overlooking the city and six holes
in a broad desert wash. Rio Secco has hosted the Wendy’s 3-Tour Challenge,
the Western Athletic Conference Golf Championships and national charity
events such as the Natalie Gulbis Charity Golf Classic and Tiger Jam, a
major fundraiser for the Tiger Woods Foundation. Rio Secco Golf Club is
home to the Butch Harmon School of Golf and Janelas Restaurant & Bar,
situated in the heart of the club’s spectacular 30,000 square-foot clubhouse.

About
Cascata
Cascata,
Italian for “waterfall,” is aptly named. A 418-foot waterfall from the
steep mountainside towering above the driving range meanders through the
practice facilities then cascades into a river that roars through the clubhouse
and eventually culminating in a tranquil stream. Designed by Rees Jones
and once reserved only for the highest of rollers in Las Vegas, Cascata
is now a unique experience that is open to resort play, regardless of resort
affiliation and residency status. Cascata’s private gates open to a spectacular
landscape that forms a regal backdrop for a golf experience like no other.
The par-72 course features stunning vistas at every turn, including the
3,600-foot peak at Red Mountain, impeccably manicured fairways, lakes,
and meandering streams. Tour-class caddies are part of the Cascata experience
making the “Cascata Experience” truly memorable for all. The Tuscan-style,
37,000 square-foot clubhouse is home to unique private event space, perfect
for the destination wedding, corporate meeting or social celebration. For
