Original - Devil's Golf Course is a large dry lake on the floor of Death Valley National Park. The salt in the Devil's Golf Course consists of the minerals that were dissolved in the lake's water and left behind in the Badwater Basin as the lake evaporated.The colors of background hills are caused by the oxidation of different metals.

Only the white rocks in the foreground are part Devil's Golf Course. They are rock salt, you could see crystals, eroded by wind and rain. Have you read Devil's Golf Course that is linked in the caption? Broccolo (talk) 19:20, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
