Badlands GC
Las Vegas, NV
Once a celebrated fixture in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Badlands Golf Club offered a distinctive desert golf experience crafted by professional golfer Johnny Miller in 1997. Miller's design philosophy embraced the rugged beauty of the natural desert environment, creating a course that seamlessly integrated with the Red Rock Canyons backdrop. The facility featured 27 holes, divided into three unique 9-hole layouts: Desperado, Diablo, and Outlaw, allowing for varied 18-hole combinations. The course was renowned for its strategic use of numerous grass and sand bunkers, contrasting with a scarcity of trees, demanding precision and thoughtful shot-making. Many considered every hole a signature, a testament to the memorable challenges and stunning vistas presented throughout the round. Badlands Golf Club was a must-play for golfers seeking a true desert golf adventure, where the natural terrain dictated a challenging yet rewarding game. Though now closed for redevelopment, its legacy as a premier desert course remains.
