Golf Serket: Championship Desert Golf in Henderson
For golf enthusiasts considering a move to Seven Hills, the sport is not a weekend drive away—it is a neighbor. Golf Serket sits at 2851 Grand Hills Drive, just minutes from 2984 Scenic Valley Way, and offers one of the most visually dramatic public golf experiences in southern Nevada. Formerly known as Rio Secco Golf Club, the course has been a fixture of Henderson's foothill landscape for decades and continues to attract players from across the valley.
The Course
Designed by the legendary Rees Jones, the 18-hole, par-72 championship layout stretches to 7,332 yards from the longest tees, with a course rating of 75.7 and a slope rating of 142—making it a serious test for low-handicap players while remaining enjoyable for recreational golfers. Jones carved the routing directly into the McCullough Range foothills, creating dramatic elevation changes, elevated tee boxes with sweeping desert panoramas, and some of the most visually striking holes in the state. Bentgrass greens hold firm and true throughout the year, and the desert-mountain backdrop turns virtually every approach shot into a postcard moment.
Facilities & Practice
Golf Serket is more than just a course—it is a full-service golf facility. A full driving range, dedicated putting greens, and chipping areas give players ample space to warm up or sharpen specific parts of their game. The well-stocked pro shop carries equipment, apparel, and accessories, while the clubhouse restaurant provides a comfortable setting for a post-round meal or drink. PGA professionals are available for private lessons and clinics, making the facility equally welcoming for seasoned players looking to shave strokes and newcomers still learning the fundamentals.
The course has a history of hosting notable events, including the Tiger Woods Jam and various charity tournaments, reflecting its standing as a premier public golf destination in the region. Tee times can be booked online, and the course maintains public access year-round—no membership required.
Why Seven Hills Golfers Love It
The proximity alone is remarkable. From 2984 Scenic Valley Way, you can reach the Golf Serket clubhouse in under five minutes—making it entirely realistic to squeeze in nine holes before work, book a sunrise tee time on a Saturday, or meet friends for a casual afternoon round without any logistical planning. But it is the quality of the experience that keeps local golfers coming back. The Rees Jones routing offers genuine championship-caliber challenge, the desert-mountain setting is unlike almost anything else in the valley, and the public-access model means you never have to worry about membership waitlists or restricted tee times.
For buyers who rank golf among their lifestyle priorities, Golf Serket is not just a nearby amenity—it is one of the strongest arguments for choosing Seven Hills over other Henderson communities. The combination of a world-class course, minimal drive time, and the dramatic McCullough Range backdrop creates a golf experience that most neighborhoods simply cannot match.
