Rio Bravo Country Club

good practice course for the beginner like me and my wife.

Played here a few times. Really like this course. However a downside of all our recent rain has brought out all the bad growth. If your Just off the fairway and you’ll never find your ball but you will find 2 or 3 other lost balls. Not fair to everybody including the lawnmowers. I’m sure they are aware and will mitigate it. I just hope it’s soon.

Playing at Rio Bravo was a wonderful first time experience. Fairways were well kept and greens were FAST!

We played on a lovely day. Fairways in pretty good shape. Some of the roughs need to be mowed. The greens were probably punched 3 weeks ago and still quite bumpy and slow. #16 green needs more work but seems to be improving slowly.

Pace was pretty fast for spring break. Good that there is several drinking water stations on the course now. Look forward to playing again when greens back to normal in a couple of weeks.

This course isn’t for beginners at all. I lost more balls then I wanted too. They grass was cut and the clippings were left on the course. The trees were poorly managed, many dead and improperly cut trees on the course. Almost no views of the surrounding hillsides. Also the drink I ordered from the bar had almost no alcohol for $9. Wouldn’t recommend and won’t be back.

Very challenging course long par 5s plenty of lakes great views

For March these fairways are probably in the best shape of any course around Bakersfield (that's not saying much in March). Play was fast. Most greens on good shape and very fast. There are 2 holes where 25% of the green is unplayable. There are several holes where we had to move our ball to get good green between our lie and the pin. The greens on those holes had patches of rough dirt (or some type of black fungus?)on them. Greens will be punched 3/13 or 3/14 we were told.

Really like this layout. The 11th hole is one of the toughest holes in Kern County. +600 yd par 5 and you must climb over 100' to the green. Extreme left to right slope along the entire fairway too.

It’s a really fun course and would be better rated if it were kept in better shape. It’s a shame really. Fairways and greens both poorly maintained, greens are ridiculously fast but not in a way that makes you think of championship golf, more like they don’t know how to manage a green so it gets fast beyond repair. Worth playing for sure, but just manage your expectations of the quality.

Fairways were bad maybe from the rain but it could have been better

Rio Bravo golf course is a very good course to play and very fun even I am just a beginner. I will play as often as I can.

Really enjoyed this course today play was very fast. Lots of rolling hills and wide fairways with some traps and water to challenge most golfers however, three or four of the greens really were in bad shape. All the other greens were in good shape and pretty fast would like to play when they get, the bad greens fixed
