Could use some TLC

Greens were nice. Bunkers are terrible. Fun layout, but overall could use some TLC. 3.8/5

Great shade and course!

I had a great time at riverlakes this weekend. It was hot but they did a good job planning where to put trees and shade so it was a highly enjoyable experience. Top tier fairway and greens, friendly clubhouse staff and good food. Will return.

I Love This Course

This is pretty much my home golf course. I go there and golf and everyone is fun, and kind and awesome. They have a covered driving area and I often bring my four year old and they treat her well, everyone from the pro shop, restaurant, and everyone else. I generally play when its hot in the afternoon but there is plenty of shade and tall trees so its a great time even in July.

JohnBrow57 review

Course is in good shape with the exception of the sand. There is no sand in the traps . Locks take a drop no closer to the hole. Fairways or in decent shape. Greens roll well but just a little slow. Driving range is top golf shape. Monitors and computer tracking. Range balls can be purchased at the range with credit card without even going in the pro shop

Great Course

This is my favorite course in Bakersfield. The overall course is best maintained, both on fairways and off fairways. I'be played at some really junky golf courses before and this whole course just feels nice. I just joined the men's club today and a. Looking forward to golfing here more often now!

I never played that day

I booked a tee time for 4. I took my 15 year old daughter as a spectator and passenger in my cart. They charged me $35 which I thought was very ridiculous. When my 4th player from the group checked in, he was told that he couldn’t have a cart because there was a limit of 2 carts per group. This even though they knew I had a spectator who was charged, and the denial of the 3rd cart prevented our 4th player from being able to play. The staff was rude about the situation and wouldn’t accommodate us, so we asked for refunds. It was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a golf course. Side note, it is 4 days later and I still have not received my refund of my charges for that day.
