I always play this course when in vegas. Can be a very tough track. Greens were a bit beat up. Other then that course conditions were pretty good. As always all staff at this course are amazing and very friendly. Food is amazing at this course. Breakfast in restaurant or at the halfway house in amazing. Lunch in restaurant is always good. Steve at the pro shop desk was such a great guy and got us off early every day. We had a replay booked and decide to cancel as did not want to be too tired and worn out for our next day of golf at Cascata and Steve cancelled it for us no problem. The starter Randy was great to shoot the bologna with prior to our rounds. Last day we played the wind was gusting really bad. This made that course even tougher. That is the only reason why I never found that round to be enjoyable as fighting that tough wind on this course is brutal. I will always play this course when in vegas as we enjoy it so much. I always book through Caesars Golf and they treat you so good.
I played right after the 3 Tour Challenge and not surprisingly the conditions were great. Greens were quite fast and true. It is a good course with some elevation changes (plays a little shorter than the yardage on the card) and a couple of good views of the strip. We were having a great day, enjoying the course and the great weather when all of the sudden we reach our 16th hole (#7) and there were 3 groups on the hole. In mgmt's wisdom they sent a small tournament/group out in a mini shotgun with our group and the group in front of us right in the middle of it. A quick round of golf ground to a halt and our last 3 holes took almost an hour to play. I have to believe this was an oversight and not a normal occurence but it drops the rating for my experience here.
The course is nice and well maintained. Holes were different and memorable. The course is on the top of some hills so it can get windy and challenging. Super cute cart girl.After round food and drinks in the clubhouse were reasonably priced and quite good.
This course is amazing and beautiful views of the strip! The course is always in pristine condition, and you will be tested on your course management skills. It's a must to see and play!
I have never been so rushed and harassed on any golf course in my life. The Marshall was so rude that the club management apologized and refunded my money. To make it worse, it was not that great of a course... The fairways were full of piles of grass clippings and the rough was way to high!
Coming from the east coast where golf courses range from relatively flat to built on undulating hills, I love courses with large elevation changes. Rio Secco does not disappoint. It’s a beautiful course with some truly memorable holes.I am also a fan of their practice facility and accompanying snack bar. Too many golf courses send you off to a distant range, with no food or restrooms nearby. Rio Secco has a very nice driving range (although the continuous mat has seen better days) and fresh sandwiches and burgers right there. They also have an excellent short game area.The quality of the T-Mates apparently is quite variable. We had four foursomes on an annual trip and one group declared the day to be the best day in 20 years of traveling together. Their T-Mate was full of personality, took care of everything for them, and helped guide them through the course. Our T-Mate, on the other hand, raked bunkers, occasionally cleaned a club or marked a ball on the green, but had to be asked several times to tend or pull a flag. She couldn’t follow a golf ball in flight or read a putt. Although she was a sweet person and a pleasure to be with, I would have preferred to play on my own, especially for what Rio Secco charges for them (and from what I’ve heard, the T-Mates don’t get much of the money).Other than that, it was a delightful day and I would certainly go back.
We played here Sunday June 29/2014. It was 108 degrees, and we had two foursomes playing a scramble for a friends stag party (bachelor party). Each group had a Tee-Mate (Dasha and Courtney) and they were unbelievable. Rake bunkers, tell us where to shoot, read putts are just a few of things that come along with the Tee-Mates expertise (No not that you perverts, although they're beautiful). Beer cart girl (sorry don't recall the name) came around with precision timing to rehydrate us (or dehydrate most of us lol).Proshop and clubhouse staff were equally as accommodating.Course was in amazing shape and is a true test of golf. We have played this course for Vegas Baby in November, so I knew what to expect for course layout, but was interested to see how the heat would affect things. I can honestly say we were fine, and overall was a great experience. Unfortunately we were a little slow, so we had to cut our game short due to daylight, but this was our fault.Thanks Rio Secco and Tee-Mates for making our experience memorable.
Every Sunday after Church four couples go to breakfast at Rio Secco; we love the staff and feel like family!! We have told many of our friends about the Breakfast and what a fun visit it is along with the quality and attractive price offered. We usually split our meals without extra cost and have all we need to eat. As I write this I am almost having second thoughts..... feeling this place is so special I might not enjoy 'spreading the word' if too many people find our 'hidden jewel'???
The course is well maintained. They do not offer any water on the course. They have beverage cart that drives around. The course is surrounded by homes. The back nine has some spectacular custom homes.The course is challenging and can be crowded. The pro shop has very little selection for ladies.
We played it well enough, but thought that it was just an ugly course. In fairness, it had just been reseeded and it was cart path only but so was Bears Best and that was far and away the better course. We will never play this one again.
