Rio Secco Is Now Serket

One of the best golf courses in Henderson is playing under a new name. In 2025, Cabot — the developer behind the celebrated links at Cabot Cape Breton in Nova Scotia and a growing portfolio of destination courses — took over Rio Secco Golf Club and rebranded it Serket. Same course, same Rees Jones design, new identity.

What's in a name

Serket is the Egyptian goddess of protection, strength, and healing, usually depicted with a scorpion above her head — which is where the new logo comes from. It's a deliberate clean break from "Rio Secco," the name the course wore from its 1997 opening. Cabot tends to build a strong sense of place and story into its properties, and the rename is the clearest signal that this is a new chapter under new ownership.

The course is the same test it always was

Here's the part that matters to anyone planning a round: the golf hasn't changed. This is still the Rees Jones layout that earned Rio Secco its reputation — cut through the canyons and arroyos of Henderson's Seven Hills, with the elevation swings and clean, demanding bunkering that are Jones hallmarks. For roughly two decades it was also home to the Butch Harmon School of Golf, which says something about the quality of the practice ground and the layout. The closing stretch is where it bares its teeth. Rebrands are often cosmetic; this one leaves the design untouched, which is exactly what you want.

Still public, still bookable

The practical detail: Serket remains open to public play. You book it the same way you always did — through its live tee sheet — so the new name doesn't change access. Green fees sit in the premium-public range and move with the season, with the best value in the shoulder months and at twilight.

Worth knowing before you go

It's a genuine championship test, so it rewards a thoughtful round over bomb-and-gouge. If you're building a Henderson day around it, it pairs naturally with the area's other strong public courses — and for the evening, our sister guide MyRSVP maps the Strip dining and nightlife worth the short drive back.
