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.

Enjoyed our day

We were welcomed by very friendly staff when we drove into the parking lot. We had just arrived from the airport so they waited for us to unload our bags from the travel bags then were there at our car to load us up on the cart.

We had a noon tee time so arrived early to eat. Izzy welcomed us in the restaurant and provided us with a very welcomed brunch menu. The food was delicious and the restaurant staff was very accommodating.

When we checked in at the pro shop we found we we were getting a $20 discount because of a few greens with some poor conditions. Welcomed, but when we played we only noticed one small area of one green to be bad. Otherwise the greens were in very good condition.

The first seven holes were the most dramatic with significant elevation changes as they cut through the canyons at the higher elevations of the course. It then opened up for a few holes before finishing on pretty parkland style holes with more water in play.

I almost forgot to mention the cart girl. Probably the most friendly and helpful cart girl I’ve ever encountered. She even came by when we were nearing the end of the front nine to offer to call in food orders for us so they would be ready for us when we reached the turn. I’ve never had that happen before.

We went into the bar/restaurant after for drinks where we were once again attended to nicely by the staff, along with our friend from the morning Izzy. The restaurant is huge and very nicely appointed.

We had a slow foursome in front of us who were struggling on the fairly tough course. They finally invited us to play through on hole 11 and our round was quick after that. We still played in less than 4.5 hours.

Wow! Thank you so much for the 5 stars, and for the detailed feedback on your experience at Rio Secco. Sounds like we really delivered the premier golf experience which we're striving for at Rio Secco: excellent conditions for the Rees Jones design, complimented by superb customer service. And we were happy to extend a small concession due to the greens conditions: we know we weren't where we wanted to be, and we thought it the right thing to do. Glad you appreciated the gesture. Hope to see you again next time you're in Las Vegas.

Great course

Staff - first class , friendly , helpful

Pro shop- top notch

Layout is challenging but fair , there a few holes that local knowledge is needed ( first time playing )

The course in general was in great shape except for the greens

They had good speed but were bumpy for the first 5-6 holes until they dried out

Rolled much better then and were quick

I generally play the Pauite courses, coyote springs and TPC course and will definitely add Rio Secco to the rotation

Fun time

Thank you for the 5 star rating! Glad to know we delivered, except for the putting surfaces. We're hard at work addressing the greens and think we're close to a full recovery. Hope to see you again soon.

Sorry we didn't deliver on the 5 star experience we strive for. The variety at Rio Secco is what people love about our Rees Jones design: there are six holes deep in the canyons, six in a broad wash, and six others on a plateau. Sounds like you preferred the canyon holes. Hope to see you again in the future.

Glad I did it once ...

It is a nice course and half of it winds through some very expensive houses.

However the layout is completely backwards, the original layout was flipped from how it plays now and front and back nine are like playing 2 different courses.

Staff was very nice. Pricey for what it is.

Thanks for playing Rio Secco. Glad you found the staff and course nice. For clarification, the current routing is actually how the course was designed. The nines were flipped in 2006, but we reverted back to the original routing in 2017.

A Must Play

If you're traveling to Vegas, and haven't played Rio Secco, you need to put it on the top of your list. The course cuts through beautiful Neighborhoods with excellent views of million dollar plus homes. The layout is fair and challenging. My only negative from the round was the pace of the greens, they were super fast and hard to hold on the approach, but I'll be back.

Fantastic Course, Fantastic Staff.

Everyone and I mean everyone, from groundskeepers to pro shop workers stopped to ask how my round was or was going. One gentleman even stopped me after walking off a green and chatted to me about the history of the course. Loved the layout and course was in decent shape for spring in Vegas. Hope to come back and play again.

Good Course, but watch yourself on 10!

This course is beautiful with 1 problem: #10 Tee is a Death Trap. We were on the tee of number 10 and almost got hit by a ball not once, not twice, but 3 times. 3 TIMES! The golf balls were coming from the Butch Harmon School of Golf on the opposite side of the driving range and the students were hitting drives that were landing on the 10th tee. The wind was not a factor as there was no wind. My one recommendation for this course is to put up some kind of net or protection because the 10th tee is VERY dangerous.
