Las Vegas Golf - Rio SeccoThe VegasGolfer staff recently picked Rio Secco Golf Club as the best overall golf experience in Las Vegas, and Golf Digest recently named Rio Secco one of the best new courses to play. Tiger Woods holds the course record (64) and often stops by for a tune up with his coach, Butch Harmon . Anyone who plays this Rees Jones-designed layout also gets help from Harmon: greens fees include a PGA Tour-caliber yardage booklet with his advice on playing each hole. The book also gives helpful insights from Jones that golf afficionados will love.

Though primarily for guests of the Rio and Harrah?s Las Vegas hotels, Rio Secco also welcomes visitors, and it's located just 15 minutes south of the Las Vegas Strip.

Rolling across 240 acres of majestic scenery and perched 800 feet above the Las Vegas Valley, the course is set up in the foothills of the Black Mountain range. The layout measures 7,332 yards from the tips, but four sets of tees make it playable for all, and many of the tees are greatly elevated, which shortens some distances. Six holes are played along the tops of plateaus, six through canyons, and six on level terrain. All are played on plush Bermuda-grass tees and fairways and lovely Crenshaw bentgrass greens.
