Muroc Lake Golf Course

About Muroc Lake Golf Course

This desert track sits in the high Mojave, where the stark beauty of Edwards Air Force Base country creates one of California's most unique golfing environments. The course plays against a backdrop of endless sky and distant mountains, with the occasional sonic boom from test flights adding an unmistakable soundtrack to your round. What makes this place special isn't manicured perfection. It's the raw authenticity of desert golf without the resort price tag, where you'll battle wind as much as the layout itself. At under $30 for 18 holes, you're getting exceptional value for a full-length public course that locals have kept as their well-guarded secret. The 4.5-star rating from players tells the real story: this isn't about bells and whistles, but about honest golf in a setting you won't find anywhere else. If you're driving between Los Angeles and Las Vegas and want to stretch your legs with clubs in hand, this detour delivers an experience that's quintessentially High Desert California.
