Played 03/04. Course is in great shape.
Tee boxes were great. Fairways are lush and the rough is dormant. I really like the dormant rough because it just seems to frame the fairway. The greens looke... Continue »

Played on Wednesday, 12/13, with JohnnyGK and Mrkich (Matt). You could not beat the company and the great Vegas weather. Tee'd off at 9ish and temps in the 60s, no clouds, no wind.

Played on 12/13 with the Gurus Johnny and Rob. POP was right on 4 hours.

I played here in the guru outing in August of 2016 and was pretty critical of the course. At this point in time I'd like to ... Continue »

I got a chance to play Rio Secco yesterday, 2/25 with a buddy of mine from the Vegas area. We got off about 40 minutes late due to a frost delay but the pace of play was decent at about 4.5 hours. We got paired up with a father and son that were visiting from Atlanta, GA. They have played what seemed like every course around the world so it was fun to hear their take on some of the greatest courses the world has to offer (Pebble, St Andrews, Royal Troon, East Lake, you name it).

The layout of this course is one of the best I have ever played. I really enjoyed the golf course. There is quite a bit of elevation changes and there are a few holes that require a decent forced carry off the tee. The landing areas are pretty generous so, as long as you are hitting it relatively straight, you will be able to find it and hit it again.

The fairways at Rio Secco were some of the best I have ever played, ever. They were like carpet. They were so good that I felt guilty for taking a divot and approach shots. The rough was dormant and the fairways were bright green so it was quite a sight. I have never been to a PGA Tour event, but I think the fairways are Tour quality right now.

The only real downer is the fact that the bunkers are absolutely horrible. They are rock hard with ZERO sand. It is almost impossible to hit a good bunker shot. There were also a lot of rocks that we moved before bunker shots because we were afraid it would actually damage our clubs. It was really surprising since the rest of the golf course was in such outstanding shape. I also did not like the fact that the driving range consists of a long lumpy mat that you have to hit off of. They have a grass area but it was closed (not sure if this is always the case).

There are so many golf courses in Las Vegas, so we try to play a different one each time we go out that way. We haven't played the same course twice yet. That being said, I will 100% be playing this course again. If you are going to Vegas, do be afraid to give this one a try. You wont be disappointed. If you live in the Vegas area, consider yourself lucky that you have a course like this so close. It is a bit pricey but I think it is worth it.
