As I mentioned recently, bloody marys hit differently at certain locations and, outside of airport bloodies, golf courses are the next best thing. Something about being out on the course, drink in hand, just elevates the whole experience.
Especially if you’re golfing in Vegas, after having spent a night out in Vegas…
At Serket Golf Club in Henderson, at the recommendation of a local, I went with a Bloody Caesar, a bloody mary made using Clamato. I’ve these before and it’s great because they bring that slightly briny, savory depth that a lot of people swear by. This one was really solid, especially for a grab-and-go golf course drink.
Then over at Boulder Creek Golf Club in Boulder City—completely different story in the best way. The Bloody here was phenomenal. The cart girl made it, and while I didn’t get to ask what mix she used, it stood out immediately. One of those where you take a sip and think, what is this? in the best possible way. Super flavorful, unique, and easily one of the better mixes I’ve had in a long time.
Both were served in to-go cups, which isn’t ideal for presentation, but totally expected on the course. Neither had garnishes, which normally would be a knock—but again, golf course logistics get a pass here. And honestly, the flavor carried both.
The Bloodies (Golf Course Edition)
• Spices/Flavor:
- Serket: Savory, slightly briny thanks to the Clamato
- Boulder Creek: Standout, unique, and incredibly flavorful

If you’re golfing in Vegas, don’t skip the Bloody Mary. These two prove that great flavor can show up anywhere… and sometimes the most memorable ones come mid-round.
