Fast play greens not quite ready after punched

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.

Not a course for beginners

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.

Challenging fast play, greens need work, fairways best in Kern County right now

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.

Good track, poor conditions

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.

Good layout some greens in bad shape

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

green, clear, fun

After the recent rains, the air was clear and crisp. The ground was a little worn from the carts driving on soft ground. But, good pace, good weather and a wonderful time.

Mother Nature is wonderful.

This course is at the foothills. Because of all the recent rain, the course and hills were a lush green. The winds came up, yet it was fun. The greens were In good shape with long fairways. Then something warm to eat after the match.

Felt like a member

Landed a great deal on a slow day. Greens and fairways were very nice after a good amount of rain and sunshine. Been a while since I have seen grass on fairways because of the cold but Rio Bravo had it.

Didn’t get to walk the course due to lack of pushcarts to non members but that was alright, I had paid the cart fee anyways. Hope to get to walk it next time around, there will be a next time.

Ruff Ruff

There are quite a few barking dogs living on the golf course who do not like golfers, lol

Course is not in tiptop shape so I took liberty with improving my lie when necessary

There was no Marshall and sadly there was a group of 6 (not so good golfers) that were allowed to play together. This should not be allowed as it caused a back up behind that group and they were not interested in letting anyone play through.
