Canyon walls going out, the Strip on the skyline coming home.
If you knew this course as Rio Secco, you know the ground. Rees Jones built it in 1997 for the Rio hotel, and in 2025 its operator, Cabot, gave it a new name: Serket. The holes still climb through the foothills of the Black Mountains in Henderson’s Seven Hills district, south of the airport, and the clubhouse address is 2851 Grand Hills Drive. It is a public course with an online tee sheet, a proper rental fleet and a two-course package with Cascata, so it works for a visitor who wants a serious desert test without a private-club introduction.
Serket Golf Club (formerly Rio Secco) green fees and tee times.
Book through the public tee sheet on the Serket website, or call the golf shop on (702) 777-2400. Clark County residents and pass holders have their own links, and residents show proof of address at check-in. Groups of up to 16 can reserve up to 120 days ahead. Green fees are dynamic and are only shown for the date and time you pick. Cancellations, no-shows and smaller groups inside 72 hours are charged unless management closes the course. The Double Down, booked by phone, pairs one round here with one at Cascata within five calendar days, with a shared cart and range use; the club lists it from US$525 in summer and US$750 in autumn, with blackout dates and no groups of 17 or more.
The round, in perspective.
The front nine runs down among steep canyon walls, and several tee shots carry native desert gorges. The back nine opens with a climb onto a plateau, and from there the Strip and the valley sit on the horizon. It is par 72: 6,921 yards from the Blue tees and 6,081 from the Gold, with the club saying it can stretch to about 7,400. The 2nd is stroke index one, a 452-yard dogleg right to a green sloping left to right. The 7th is the signature, a short par four by a canyon gorge, and the 12th is a 172-yard par three over another. On the 589-yard 9th, the club’s course tour notes that Tiger Woods hit only a 6-iron for his second during his course-record 64. The 16th, at 199 yards, has water short and a swale cutting the green in two. Golf Digest and Golf Magazine both listed the course among the best new public courses of its year.

Make the trip work.
Carts are compulsory, two players to a cart, and the target pace is 4 hours 15 to 4 hours 30. Arrive 15 minutes before your time; groups of fewer than four may be paired, and times can move by up to ten minutes. Dress is a golf shirt, trousers or walking shorts, and soft spikes. If you fly without clubs, TaylorMade rental sets cost US$110 (Qi35 line) or US$135 for the premium set with P770 irons and MG4 wedges, each with six balls and a glove. Caesars Rewards members get a tiered discount for themselves and up to three playing guests, and military golfers 20% off the resort rate.
Harry Reid International (LAS) lies north of the course; the drive runs south on the I-215 beltway into Henderson and up into Seven Hills. Ground transport is not included in any Serket rate, so book a car, taxi or rideshare.
The Strip hotels that sit in the Caesars Rewards family make sense if you want the green-fee discount to count. For a shorter morning drive, the Henderson casino resorts along St Rose Parkway and Green Valley Ranch are closer than the Strip. Golfbreaks sells packages with Bellagio, Caesars Palace and the Westin at Lake Las Vegas. Janelas Restaurant & Bar is the clubhouse restaurant for after the round.
Make a trip of it.
Cascata in Boulder City is the natural partner, because the Double Down links the two and Cabot runs both. In Henderson, The Legacy and Revere in Anthem are short drives, and Reflection Bay at Lake Las Vegas suits a day in the east of the valley. For a rest day, the Hoover Dam is a short drive past Boulder City.
Find your season.
October to May is the busy season; the club’s package pricing starts lower in summer, when only early tee times are comfortable. Las Vegas courses are commonly overseeded in early autumn, so ask the shop about dates before booking a September trip.
Yes. Rio Secco opened in 1997 as the Rio hotel’s course. Vici Properties owns it, Cabot took over operations in 2022 on a 20-year agreement and renamed it Serket in 2025. The routing and Rees Jones design are the same, and the address is still Grand Hills Drive in Henderson.
How far ahead can visitors book Serket?
Up to 120 days ahead through the public online tee sheet, for groups of up to 16. Larger events of 12 to 144 players go through the club’s event team. Clark County residents book through a separate resident link.
Can I play Serket and Cascata on one deal?
Yes. The Double Down gives one round at each course within five calendar days, with a shared cart and practice. It is booked by phone on (702) 777-2400, starts at US$525 in summer and US$750 in autumn, and cannot be refunded if you miss the second round.
