Rio Secco, Henderson, Nevada
Set
amidst the Black Mountain Range in Las Vegas, this Rees Jones design
is truly one of America's great courses. Jones is known for his
traditional nature and somehow in the Las Vegas desert he's found
a way to create a traditional look despite the desolate setting.
The layout drags its players through canyons, dried-out riverbeds,
plateaus, and arroyos with brilliant views of the Vegas skyline
from the highest holes. The signature hole is the par-four seventh
with its green backed by a towering rock wall. Rio Secco is also
home to the Butch Harmon School of Golf and, who knows, maybe Tiger
will be in town for a tune-up.
