Ok so I have the Badlands scorecard in my hands. The only local rule on the card is this "Local Desert Rules: If ball comes to rest in the desert, the player may drop a ball within two club lengths of nearest point of grass relief, no nearer the hole, with a one stroke penalty" hope that helps.

To me that Local Rule modifies the Rules of Golf thus being 'illegal'. Although I can understand it's role in speeding up the play and avoiding unnecessary injuries of clubs and players' wrists.
