Rio Secco Golf Club, host of the Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge

For the second straight year, Rio Secco Golf Club in Henderson, Nev., is the host of the Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge. Designed by Rees Jones, Rio Secco affords great views of the Las Vegas Strip below as golfers try to find the course's tricky bentgrass greens. Said greens can be difficult to read, and if you find yourself above the hole, two-putts become a real challenge. One of the most talked about holes, the 200-yard par-3 12th, plays over a valley to a large green that slopes severely from back to front. Back pin positions are difficult, but a front location can yield aces as everything seems to funnel to that spot. Rio Secco is also home to the Butch Harmon School of Golf.
