Badlands Golf Club always held the potential to be a Las Vegas showstopper. This Johnny Miller and Chi Chi Rodriguez design is anything but cookie cutter, running through canyons and washes with blind shots thrown in your way.

But for the last few years, golfers haven't always walked away from the course happy with its conditions. For a while there, Badlands could have almost held a double meaning according to some Vegas golf insiders.

That's no longer the case. The course has been in great shape all season and is recreating some of the buzz it earned around its 1995 opening.

For the complete story on the revitalized Badlands, stay tuned to LasVegasGolf.com in the coming weeks.

And as always, TravelGolf.com will continue to be the rare golf publication unafraid to talk about course conditions. Good and bad.
