Every Hole Is An Adventure

Badlands Golf is three distinct 9 hole courses. What they had in common was that each hole was individual and fun. We started with Outlaw. After I finished that nine, pretty satisfied with my performance, I was told it's the easiest. Desperado wiped the grin off my face. It was fun but some of the holes were really tough.
Of course I'm not much of a golfer so most readers will not see it that way.
In all, my wife and I really had a good time.

Course is fun but poor conditions

I have played Badlands before and it was in much better shape. It is not a long course but is pure target golf. I was very disappointed in the fairways that were as hard as concrete, greens were deplorable and rolled like a shag rug. For $37 it was worth it purely for the desert style golf; however, $119 is outrageous.

Enjoyable round

A good challenge. Friendly staff, great rate. Nice views and some good challenging holes. Driving range was mats only (bad mats!) and the fairways weren't the best, but all in all, a good take for the price.

Great views of mountains

Well laid out course in desert of Las Vegas. If only everyone else would play from the proper T's, it would have been a great round. Slow play caused by a foursome that was more interested in hitting from the back T's rather from where they really belonged. Other than that, we really enjoyed the day.

Great course if you stay in the fairway!

Some may call it target golf but I call it a good challenge. Play the correct tees for your ability and you will have more fun. Watch out for the wind. Lots of roll on the greens. Good pace of play generally. Today all four groups let me play through as I was solo. Done in 2.15 with a 73 and back at the pool with a cold one. Will always have a round at Badlands when in Vegas.

Glad I got a Hot Desl price

Course was challenging enough for my husband. Yet no too tough for me. The course was aerated recently, so it wasn't in great shape.first timers beware. They do not offer you a book depicting layout of the course. Some holes you have no idea where the fairway or green is. GPS I carts which is nice. But no pics of holes anywhere. Dead cat laying by water on #3 Despatado.ooked like been there for days or longer

overall poor condition

Played in mid April. 04/12 to be exact. Greens were in terrible shape, fairways were not much better. First time i had ever played here. When i arrived, there was no one to grab my clubs. No big deal, i walk into the proshop and pay. Walk out of the proshop, there is STILL no one there. So i have to walk all the way back into the proshop to figure out where to even find the range. Glad i didn't pay more than $25 to play. I wouldn't play there again for free.

Horrendous Pace of Play!

This is my 3rd time playing this course and there won't be a 4th. I paid for 18 today and left at 9. Every time I've played here the course is backed up and today I couldn't handle waiting 10 minutes in between shots it just throws off the entire game. On top of that the cart girl doesn't come the entire time then at hole 9 she finally shows up right as I'm about to hit the clubhouse anyways. She sat on the cart path in my line of fire for my tee shot the entire time as well. This course is nice and convenient for me 5 minutes from my house but I can't take the back up I experience here every time I play. The course is very difficult, lots of right shots and hazards you will find trouble on this course which may explain the delays but the ranger really should be making the rounds. I'm frustrated though and will not be back anytime soon.

Great track, needs some work

The fairways as a rule weren't in very good shape, the greens are ok, very fast but had some damage on them. Plan on losing balls, as many holes are surrounded by a ravine that makes shot making a must.

The Staff and the fellow we got mached up with where all great. The course is a beauty. We played all 3 nines. Great day!
Saw a marshal at least once on each 9.
The starter was helpful, friendly and knowledgable how can you ask for a better beginning! I noticed this course often has good deals on Golfnow for non-residents.

Windy and Wild

Turned up early for our 8 am tee time in the hope of getting some breakfast but the building was not even open. The Pro very kindly arranged for us to have a coffee or tee.
It was an extremely windy day and on a target style of course this proved quite challenging. I would play it again. We booked a great deal for 2 through Under Par but would not have wanted to pay the $119 regular rate.

Conditions

The condition of the course was horrible! Fairways had no grass, dead grass, divots that were never repaired, greens were like rough land on the Texas North 40. This is the time for most courses in Las Vegas to go through some transition from winter to summer. However, the course should discount the greens fees when it is cow pasture. Outside staff was somewhat friendly but inside the pro shop staff could care less than address the issues. I even call in advise to ask conditions and staff advise is was in great shape, i wouldn't recommended this course to anyone!
