The Devil’s Golf Course was named after the 1934 National Park Service guide book to Death Valley National Monument stated that “only the devil could play golf” on its extremely serrated surface.
The saltpan was once a deep lake that has disappeared. While the saltpan at Badwater periodically floods, then dries, Devil’s Golf Course lies in a part of the Death Valley salt pan that is several feet above flood level. Without the smoothing effects of flood waters, the silty salt at Devil’s Golf Course grows into fantastic, intricately detailed pinnacles.
This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.
