China Lake Golf Course

China Lake Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout playing 6,832 yards. A driving range is on-site. The course is associated with Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, and the flat, arid desert terrain of the upper Mojave defines the playing surface. Wind can be a significant factor in this exposed setting.

The course is in Ridgecrest, a remote desert city in eastern Kern County. Standard pricing keeps it affordable. The nearest courses are far away, with Trona Golf Course and Tierra Del Sol Golf Club being the closest options. The isolation means China Lake is essentially the only full-length course for a wide radius. At 6,832 yards, it plays long, and the open desert conditions can make it play even longer when wind picks up.
