I definitely don't get the Badlands love. It's ok in a pinch, and generally dirt cheap, but it's not a great course imo. The 3 nines are all a bit disjointed, the greens are generalyl in ok shape at best.
Wolf Creek is great but a little gimmicky imo. Coyote Springs is my current favorite (Reflection Bay used to be but they closed it). Paiute Wolf course is great - so is the food as discussed. The staff can be real hit and miss though. Sometimes its great, but my two worst ever interactions with course personnel occurred there.
Bear's Best is great, but it costs like double what it used to so I haven't played it in a while. TPC Las Vegas is real good, but is quite a grind of a day - not much letup in that course. Cascata is great but too much uphill/downhill for me. Always in sick good condition though. Rio Secco can be great but avoid windy days and avoid summer - extreme wind or extremely dry greens can make the course nearly unplayable.
