Like many others who are spending their time at home learning a new skill or refining methods for an old hobby, the agronomy team at Cascata is spending their time improving the already immaculate turf conditions by undergoing an unseasonal – albeit timely – aerification process at the club.

Mild winter temperatures draw visitors to Las Vegas in droves. And thanks to the hard work of the golf course maintenance team at Rio Secco, a green blanket of ryegrass will be waiting for them. In the deserts of the Southwest, as well as other Southern regions, bermudagrass goes dormant as the nighttime temperatures dip below 50 degrees.
On September 27, when Cascata Golf Course re-opens from annual overseed, it will do so with a welcomed bonus – brand new, white, and pristine bunkers.

Brightview’s involvement will include heightened management of golf course operation procedures including aerification, overseeding and water irrigation.
