First time playing this tight course. Unless you're a scratch player with a caddie or someone who will guide you on your shotmaking, play conservative in order to learn the courses carries and nuances. First hole's drive is deceiving. Back nine par three surrounded by water and I just didn't see the water. I'm ready for the next round and adjust my shots. Fun and challenging.

Overall a decent and moderate difficulty course. Extremely hot for this Colorado golfer. I was prepared with plenty of water. The course was setup with multiple water points. Keep it in the fairway. I would recommend playing the course but not a course I burn to play again (no pun intended).

Good time on the course though it was very hot. Totally expected and prepared for the heat. The course is somewhat challenging. I would play again, happily.

Well worth the green fee. Hot and humid…only improvement recommendation is for my game…..practice.

Fairways were fine. Rough was unkept. Us open length but not by design.. greens were diseased. Ball jumped left or right. No true roll. all bunkers lacked sand. Under repair posted.

A favorite course but maintenance is way behind. Tee boxes uncut or not to previous standards. Grass growing in bunkers and rakes missing. Sand is not groomed. Some greens were missing green aka grass. Conditions in past were excellent but not now. Currently, wont spend money to play here. Hope they improve, such a nice track.

First time playing. Played from the Gold tees. Though I scored a 91, I know a low 80s is in the future. Really enjoyed this layout and will come back again. Have played multiple courses in Las Vegas and this track really left a positive impression. Looking forward to the next.

Great layout, challenging but the course was dry and minimally maintained. Hated the bunkers. No visible maintenance. rocks and pebbles throughout. Play again at the Golfnow price...yep....

Single player matched with a great 3some. The greens had been aerated previously and growing out. No warning when I checked in. Was a day of pick it up, no more than 2 putts scored on card. Heavy celebration when making a putt of 5 or more. Still, a nice wide open layout and maybe next time a better rating for this course with improved greens.

Thoroughly enjoyed the round. Will play it again. A former PGA tour location. Is historical and a challenge but not a crazy challenge with blind shots or postage stamp landing locations surrounded by desert. Looking forward to the next round.

This course has a couple of holes on the Desperado and Diablo that killed my round. I played with a couple of scratch players and they had trouble with the same holes. The gentleman who plays the course regularly called the holes, stupid. I guess that is why the course is named: Badlands. If you want a challenge: Badlands. If you want a course to have an enjoyable experience, Not Badlands.

Great facility, customer service and golf course. Played alone on the Desert Course in the wind on Easter Sunday. Greatly enjoyed my round and scored well. The bunkers are a challenge, more like waste bunkers. Will I play there again? Absolutely!

Course layout is awesome. White tees are perfect to challenge and allow some relief for the rec golfer.

Note that only one staff member interacting with the golfers was helpful and courteous. The rest were curmudgeons. I looked for someone to give a tip at end of round but no one seemed to care about receiving my cart and assist as they are willing at other Vegas courses. Having not been there before, the route to the driving range was not clear nor posted. Directions I received were provided in a condescending manner and inaccurate. Service is not a concern there.
The bunkers are not maintained. Most were hardened and ball on hardened sand is of no value to the game especially with the deep bunkers. I did hit out of one bunker that was maintained and that was a pleasure. The other 6 bunker shots were frustrating. Water is not the issue. Rake it and break up the sand.

Food was great. Beverage team was great. Inside the clubhouse was great. Outside team which is the face to the customer: needs great improvement.

Pace of play for the front 9 was right on. The back lasted 3 plus hours. Had a foursome from 3 holes behind drive by looking for an open hole. No Rangers riding the course checking pace of play or golfer conduct.

Play there again, Yes, as long as its a GolfNow rate. I know to have low expectations as it pertains to the outside staff.
