WELCOME TO GOLF ON COLORADO'S HIGH PLAINS.Set among the natural sand dunes of the historic Cervi Ranch, Rodeo Dunes welcomes you to its Grand Opening Season in 2027. While the property will continue to grow and evolve, the golf and the landscape remain at the heart of the experience.
This guide provides a few helpful details before your visit. The rest is meant to be discovered.
YOUR ARRIVAL
We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes prior to your tee time to allow time for check-in and getting to the first tee.
Address: 34587 I-76 Frontage Rd, Roggen, CO 80652
From the West (Denver): Take I-76 East to Exit 48. Turn left over the highway, then make an immediate left onto Frontage Rd. Continue on this road as it transitions to gravel—this will lead you directly to the entrance gate.
Once through the gate, you will travel just over two miles through pastureland before reaching the parking area.
Please observe the 25 MPH speed limit throughout the property. It's a long-standing tradition on the Cervi Ranch that helps protect everyone who works and visits here, while preserving the gravel roads that connect the property.
pulling inOur team will greet you and assist you with your clubs. Check-in takes place at the Golf Shop in the parking area, where a small selection of Rodeo Dunes merchandise is available.
heading to the teeYour walk to the first tee takes you through The Rockies Putting Course. Please plan to arrive at the first tee at least 15 minutes before your scheduled tee time. If you've reserved a caddie, they'll meet you there.
before the roundScorecards, tees, pencils, and ball markers are available at the first tee. While there is no formal practice facility, you’re welcome to warm up at our rustic driving range and warm-up green at The Rockies Putting Course.
THE LAND
The high plains are a unique, beautiful, and sometimes challenging environment.
We recommend bringing:
Sun protection
Layers for changing conditions
Comfortable walking footwear
The course moves naturally through the dunes. For guests traveling from lower elevations, arriving a day early to acclimate to the altitude can make a big difference.
COURSE CONDITIONS
Much of the turf across the property remains relatively young and continues to mature. Our agronomy team remains focused on long-term turf health and establishment as the course continues to develop.
During your round you may notice:
Areas still growing in
Occasional seeding
Greenskeeping crews working during play
Ongoing refinement from our architects
PACE OF PLAY
Our target pace of play at Rodeo Dunes is approximately 4 hours and 15 minutes.We ask that you remain mindful of your position on the course and maintain a steady pace to help ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone.
Rodeo Dunes traverses native grasslands and natural areas that are intentionally left undisturbed. Please avoid extended searches for lost balls in these areas, both to maintain pace and for your safety. Wildlife, including rattlesnakes, may occasionally be present in the prairie landscape.
WALKING WITH A CADDIE
Rodeo Dunes is a walking-only course, and many guests choose to play with a caddie. Spending the round alongside someone who knows the land and contours of the course can add a lot to the day.
We recommend requesting a caddie in advance.
Caddies typically carry two bags, and the recommended rate is $150 per bag, paid directly to the caddie in cash at the conclusion of your round.
Rodeo Dunes operates as a cashless facility for on-site purchases, but an ATM will be available for caddie payments.

While Rodeo Dunes does not have a traditional practice facility, there are plenty of ways to warm up before your round. Our Rustic Range offers hitting mats overlooking the open prairie, while The Rockies, our seven-acre fescue-blend putting course, provides a unique opportunity to get a feel for the contours of the land.
For a warm-up that more closely reflects the playing conditions on the golf course, a designated section of The Rockies features a bentgrass mix similar to our course greens.
You're welcome to putt your way through The Rockies on your walk to the first tee.
