Serket (formerly Rio Secco Golf Club)

Location: Henderson, Nevada (Las Vegas) | Style: Desert Canyon | Length: 7,400 yards | Par: 72

Formerly known as Rio Secco, Serket marks a bold new chapter in Las Vegas golf. Designed by renowned architect Rees Jones, this championship layout takes its name from the ancient goddess of protection and healing, symbolised by a striking scorpion emblem. The course combines the rugged beauty of Nevada’s Black Mountains with panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip, delivering an experience that is as visually dramatic as it is strategically challenging.

Stretching over 7,400 yards, this par-72 course threads through desert canyons and elevated plateaus, with generous fairways, bold bunkering, and immaculate greens that roll true. It’s a demanding yet rewarding test, blending breathtaking scenery with creative shot-making opportunities. Consistently recognized for its pristine conditioning and warm hospitality, Serket has earned its place among the premier desert golf experiences in the U.S.
