Roadrunner Dunes Golf Course

Twentynine Palms, California, USASouthern California Desert

Roadrunner Dunes Golf Course offers an approachable nine-hole layout set in the open desert of Twentynine Palms. Known for its community spirit, affordable rates, and relaxed pace, the course delivers accessible yet engaging golf amid striking natural surroundings.

Course Overview

Roadrunner Dunes Golf Course offers a refreshing golf experience amid the striking desert landscape of Twentynine Palms, California. This charming nine-hole public course balances affordability with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that makes it accessible to players at all skill levels. Its layout unfolds across arid terrain peppered with desert flora, creating a setting where thoughtful shot-making complements the open, sun-drenched environment.

Each hole at Roadrunner Dunes presents unique challenges shaped by the desert’s natural contours. The fairways demand accuracy as low water conditions keep the ground firm, causing balls to roll further and requiring adjustments in club selection. Greens are modest in size but well maintained, guarded by carefully placed bunkers that introduce a strategic element to scoring. The course’s compact footprint encourages pace of play, making it ideal for golfers seeking a quick yet enjoyable round under the wide blue sky.

Beyond the fairways, the course thrives as a social hub in the community. Weekly scramble events and local tournaments infuse energy into the venue, while amenities such as an inviting driving range and a clubhouse offering cold beverages and homemade meals ensure comfort off the course. The availability of carts combined with a walkable layout invites players to choose their preferred pace, making it suitable for families, newcomers, and seasoned golfers alike.

Visitors will appreciate the approachable pricing and the warmth of the staff, who take pride in enhancing the experience for every guest. Whether you’re working on your swing, enjoying a casual round with friends, or taking part in one of their signature taco Tuesday gatherings, Roadrunner Dunes delivers a down-to-earth atmosphere that extends far beyond golf.

For those planning a visit, bringing sunscreen and hydration is essential to navigate the desert climate comfortably. Morning tee times offer cooler conditions and quieter surroundings, while late afternoon play allows you to enjoy the changing hues of the desert sunset. Roadrunner Dunes combines a spirited community vibe with desert golf’s distinctive edge, crafting a memorable stop in Southern California’s high desert region.

Course Highlights

The course stands out for its authentic desert setting and strong community involvement. Signature elements include firm, fast fairways shaped by arid conditions, greens protected by strategic bunkering, and a vibrant local culture highlighted by weekly scrambles and food events. The driving range and casual clubhouse dining enhance the visitor experience, creating a blend of sport and social engagement unique to the region.

Awesome people, Thursday night scramble is a blast every week. Course has new ownership and is moving in the right direction. Priced well, cheap beer, also a cool new cement River and a pond with a ton of fish to feed. Would recommend!

This is one of the most low-key, low-cost, nine-hole golf courses in the hidez. Since I first played here back in late 2019 the staff and volunteers have completely transformed the old dog track into a one of the most fun, laidback, nine-hole golf courses I’ve ever played. You can’t beat the prices and the staff makes you feel right at home. For about $50 I got to hit a large bucket of range balls, play 18 holes with a cart and a 6’er of coronas on ice. I hung out for about an hour after we finished our round to check out their “taco Tuesday” family event, and the food was great! It was a perfect way to spend our afternoon. Highly recommended!

I’m new to the sport. This was my first time ever being in a golf course or range. The lady in the front desk was so kind and helpful . 10$ for a large bucket of balls. Super affordable. Overall experience is 10/10. Im coming back for sure.

A nice local golf course. Staff are all very nice and helpful. They take pride in their small 9 hole golf course in the desert. The course is slowly getting improvements and isn't half bad for the price, definitely a fun course. They have a driving range as well available. The owner makes homemade meals available a few days out of the week along with beer options. The course holds weekly scrambles and also many community events with music, food etc. Come out and show your support!

Great volunteers keep it running. Needs a bigger contribution from ownership and would also benefit greatly from a professional golf course manager and Greenskeeper.
