Had a great time playing here. Fun, challenging layout in good condition with great views of the stip. It does lie in a residential area, but houses are far enough off the course for the most part that they are not much of a worry. The views of some of the female caddies are a plus as well. All in all, worth the play.

Rio Secco is a very nice track with some excellent holes. The terrain is challenging and the holes have been designed around and through several canyons. Views of the Las Vegas strip are spectacular. I was a corporate guest and we had a beautiful young coed from UNLV as our tee mate. She was a very nice young lady and we all had a fun time.
