Rio Secco

About
Designed by Rees Jones and Keith Evans, Rio Secco Golf Club in Henderson affords great views of the Las Vegas Strip below as golfers try to find the course's tricky bentgrass greens. Said greens can be difficult to read, and if you find yourself above the hole, two-putts become a real challenge. One of the most talked about holes, the 200-yard par-3 12th, plays over a valley to a large green that slopes severely from back to front. Back pin positions are difficult, but a front location can yield aces as everything seems to funnel to that spot. Rio Secco is also home to the Butch Harmon School of Golf.

Slow play
First off upon arrival we were greeted at our car to get our clubs which was a nice touch. The clubhouse is beautiful and we enjoyed having lunch inside and the food was good. Then we headed into the pro shop to pay, everything was great at that point. We went to hit range balls, the balls they give you are in terrible shape, old worn out and look to be hit thousands of times. I would expect more for the money we paid. Then the starter sent us to the first tee. The course itself appears nice, it’s very tight and the bunkers are not in good shape. I was in the right fairway bunker off the first tee, mu ball was in mud in the middle of the bunker. I decided to clean it and tried to rake and place but I could not even scratch the sand, we’ll sand is generous as it was more like hard pan. After the first hole, we caught up to a group of 3 and we had 4 players. We proceeded to wait on them every shot for the remainder of the round. Not 1 time did a Marshall come around. It we miserable, you would think for $200 a round they could have a Marshall watching pace of play, especially with some of the elevation changes and difficult holes they have. Apparently after they collect your money they don’t care about you anymore. The group we waited on all day was at least 3 or 4 holes behind the group in front of them. Although the layout was beautiful, the bunkers are poorly kept and overall not enjoyable. I would not return . There are too many other places to play for example we played Pauite the day before, it’s a much better track and the have marshals on all 3 courses and it’s a much better experience and better run golf course. Extremely disappointed with Rio Secco, If not for Butch, this course would struggle at this price.
Outstanding
This is a very good golf course in superb condition. You need to hit it straight. We are used to playing fast, so we always seem to bump into a little slow play when in Vegas. And, they have excellent practice facilities. Pretty much a 5 Star operation.
Great Course
If you keep it on the fairway you will have a great time and a good score...Greens are fast and you need to leave it below the hole where possible. Take less club and hit the fairways and you will really enjoy this round.
Excellent day
Fantastic day at Rio Secco. Tee to green it was in tournament condition
Highly recommend
Played in less the. 4 hours
Helpful staff
Friendly course ranger to help keep things moving.
Food was top notch as well
Definitely plan to go back
Great golf with a View
Amazing views of the Las Vegas Strip and the course was awesome
We were not informed that the course was cart path only ahead of time or at check in.
Beautiful Area
My husband and I played this course.
We were slotted with course members, which was helpful giving us advice about the course.
It is a beautiful layout and scenery.

Thank you so much for the 5 star rating on your experience at Rio Secco. We're thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the time with us, and look forward to your next visit to Rio Secco.

Thank you for the 5 star rating.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to let us know how we did. Glad we knocked it out of the park, or in parlance striped it right down the middle. Hope to see you again at Rio Secco the next time you're in town.
