Once the sun slips behind flanking forest, the lights of Reno set this little urban hub in northwestern Nevada to shining as befits a place recognized for its numerous casinos and proximity to both ski slopes and Lake Tahoe.
Badlands Golf Club has 27 holes of target, desert-style golf at it's finest designed by Johnny Miller and Chi Chi Rodriguez. The course meanders through canyons, arroyos, and washes and places a premium on shot accuracy. An experience like no other, locals voted the Badlands best course in Las Vegas. The Red Rock mountains in the background create a beautiful setting. 15-20 minutes from the Las Vegas strip. Soft spikes are required.
The original 18 holes opened in 1995 (another nine was added later) and the enthusiastic response to its dazzling layout is credited with sparking much of the ensuing development. Former PGA Tour superstar-turned-television analyst Johnny Miller embraced the craggy terrain to create a course a daredevil could love.
The Badlands' personality emerges in earnest at No. 6, with a steep ravine lining the left side. No. 7 is a short par 4 that doglegs right into a hidden and narrow green. The back nine winds closer to the scenic Red Rock Mountains and culminates with two holes played up a chute between the hills.
