Bad Lies

Have played this course in the past. Extremely disappointed this time. Course has really gone downhill. Fairways in poor condition, bad lies throughout the course, staff lacks concern for the public. The course should be closed ASAP.

Good course in Northern Vegas

Got a good deal to play Badlands so figured I'd give it a shot. Hadn't played in a couple of months and Badlands offered a good course for me to return. Not overly difficult, but still required good shot making and thinking through each hole. Greens were in good condition as was the rest of the course. Would definitely play again if I can get out there this summer.

Fun but first time tough

Nice course to play. Condition was good considering the time of year. Bunkers had some rocks it them. There are a few odd holes that you don't know where to hit if it's your first time playing. Did not have layout on the card or gps! Not bad for hot deal price.

Very Scenic Golf Challenge

Overall a great day on a lovely course. Loved the positional golf where driver was not required on all par 4's and 5's. All holes were unique with views of surrounding mountains. Homes around course were not in play.
Greens were fast and true but ball marks left many irregularities.

A little short so play the blues or blacks if you hit it longer than average. 16 is a monster - take advantage of local knowledge. Bets three finishing holes I've played in a long time.

Great layout, greens on the Desperado 9 almost unplayable

This is a challenging course that runs you through many arroyos/ mini canyons and such. Overall, nice design. The Desperado 9 on this day however, saw greens with ridiculous speeds on them. Since they tilt heavily front to back, getting above the hole was an absolute guarantee of your putt going back into the fairway. Maybe 15 or 16 is just too high on the stimp for greens with that much slope. Still like the course though.......

The Diablo is difficult!

We played the Outlaw and Diablo. The Outlaw was a fun 9 holes but we found the Diablo to be quite a bit more difficult. The greens seemed to be a little too undulating and the pins were not located in flat areas for the most part.
Bunkers need more sand in them.
Lots of harmless wildlife!

I love this course!

The greens on the Outlaw nine had been aerated so they were a little bumpy, but the fairways were in very good shape. The holes are very interesting, especially on the Diablo nine, and I'd definitely play this course again!

Nice Course but call before playing

We booked the course thru GolfNow but when we got there, we founded out that the course was hosting a tournament. After 9 holes, our only option was to play the same 9 holes. The Badlands and other Vegas courses host a lot of tournaments so I will call before booking next time. Golf Now needs to have a disclaimer or note on their website.
The course was in nice shape and we enjoyed the 9 holes. Staff was helpful and polite.
