I was lucky enough to play here last Saturday. Easily one of my new favorite courses. There are so many beautiful water features I couldn't help myself to take pictures like tourist on a tour of the homes in Hollywood.

The golf carts were cutting edge with touch screen if you wanted a particular distance. Wonderful luxury leather seats. The cart would yell at you for playing behind pace and shut down if you drove into a 'no-no' area. The only thing it was missing was a electrocution feature if your BAC got too high, which would of been handy.

The not much of a practice facility, hitting into nets like Monarch Beach Golf Links. Golf balls were worn and black. It didn't matter too much for me, I toed a few balls and headed to our first tee box. Just a heads up if you are the type of golfer that needs a bucket before playing.

The course was in great shape, greens rolled fast, smooth, and true to line. Fairways were cut well, rough was managed good, fairway bunkers were well manicured. Greenside bunkers could use more sand in them but not awful. My favorite was hole 14, 528yrd par 5, has a stream the runs along the right side. As you drive up to the green and pass some palm trees you are greeted by a siiiiick cascading water fall. Its a challenging course but not so much that you don't have fun.

Pro shop and cart workers were fantastic. Filled the cart with ice and complementary waters before the round and refilled the ice at the turn. I don't remember seeing a mobile beverage cart on the course but the bar is located in a premium location for the start and turn if you wanted to grab something quickly. Toilet paper in the club house is single ply. After the round was greeted by staff to clean club heads.

Thank you so much Johnny for introducing me to one of my new all time favorites!

I was fortunate enough to play Cascata this past Friday. Drove up to a gate and had to be buzzed in (fancy), came to the round a bout where we were greeted by staff. The gentleman took our bags to our cart while our group headed to club house for breakfast and cocktails. There was a stream the goes through the club house which I thoroughly enjoyed.

The driving range was a treat, one of the best I've had the pleasure to chunk in. Uphill with a desert mountain view. The putting greens had no holes but flag sticks.

Our forecaddie Zach was not only friendly but extremely knowledgeable about the course and all it's subtleties.. Even though he was there for the group I always had the feeling he was my personal caddie. He was on top of it when it came to putting reads, distances, and taking and cleaning my wedges which gave the game a whole new experience for me.

One of the best courses I've ever played. Groomed fairways and immaculate greens against a beautiful landscape. The greens ran really fast but fair which was gratifying. The tee boxes were always flat and in exceptional shape. The rough was a challenge but escapable. I was in the sand bunkers a lot and it was in immaculate condition, almost like hitting out of white sand from an hour glass.

Thank you so much Johnny for allowing me to join in.

Played Willowick last week and boy has this course taken a turn for the worse. We had a 830 tee time and when we showed up there was 5 groups waiting to tee off and we ended up not getting off until 9. Staff was apologetic but it seemed like they were just saving face. We paid $40 to walk and I think that was $20 too expensive for the shape that it is in. Tee boxes looked like they hadnt moved in weeks and finding grass was tough on par 3's. Fairways a mix of 10 different grasses and a 20% chance of having a good lie. Greens were not terrible but not great. Bumpy and slow is not a good combo. The area is not the greatest but if you need to play this is the only thing with a tee time I still wouldnt play here again.

Word is they might shut down but if they find new life its going to take a lot of work to fix the issues here. DO NOT RECOMMEND
