Las Vegas
Serket (formerly Rio Secco)
Desert canyon
Serket is the former Rio Secco, now under the Cabot-managed Las Vegas umbrella with Cascata. It remains a legitimate golf option that can make a Vegas itinerary feel less like a casino add-on. The name changed; the Henderson/canyon logic did not.

We played this on our last day in Vegas not knowing what to expect. The views are amazing! The holes are very challenging if you don’t play smart. The only issue we had was the 4 inches of rain the night before so it was cart path only. Other than that its a great course to play

Rio Secco was the fourth course on our trip, and the perfect spot to finally pull out the driver and let it rip. After tighter layouts earlier in the tour, this course felt wide open and freeing—long, scenic, and built for power.
The layout is beautiful, weaving through desert te
