Course Highlights
The course layout consistently impresses with striking Strip views, bluff-top scenery, and par 3s that rival any public course in the West. Staff friendliness stands out across the board, from the pro shop to the beverage cart and starter.

Designed by Rees Jones and Keith Evans, Serket (formerly known as 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. Serket 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.

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.

Nice and pleasant course.

Aside from the blistering heat of 100* at 9am, it was an enjoyable round. I wish the courses started earlier due to the heat but the pro shop said the homeowners around the course (which was built AFTER the course) put a moratorium on noise until 6:30am. Stupid. I’ll be sending

Just four stars? Sorry to see we fell short in some areas. We hope to see you again at Rio Secco, perhaps when it's not well north of triple digit heat outside, and the course conditions might suit you better.
