Great test of golf only Criticism was the tee boxes need some work

Staff all Great and the food is fabulous

Decent course when there is sand in the sand traps and the fairways are green. Blue markers are closer to average course length. Black Markers are a real challenge. Greens are decent. I would NOT pay more than $40 until they fix sand traps.

This used to be a nice course before the drought conditions almost killed it. They have managed to save the greens which are nice considering the conditions of the fairways. They are all dead and I mean irreparably dead, not even a sprig of green after the recent rains dead., it’s very sad. However the weekend play was very heavy and VERY slow. Apparently the poor golfers in Bakersfield are so desperate for golf they are willing to wait on every shot, all day and play a course with burned up fairways. I’m not so I quit after 10 when the 11th hole had 3 groups waiting on the tee with no Marshall in sight. I’m glad I got a deal on Golf Now because I would have been unhappy if I had to pay full price.

I golf here alot and it seems to be going in a bad direction as for the course conditions. I understand weather issues and player abuse to the fairways and greens but it is really getting bad for the price you pay for this course. I like going here because it is within a half mile from my house, but I have fou d myself going out of my way not to go here mainly due to conditions and they are still the only course that still doesn't have sand bunker rakes. Back to my point you can goto most of the other municipal courses and pay half the price and have better golf conditions even Buena Vista. Maybe if they make people on the course use etiquette while playing....... like dont drive on the greens or use 90 degrees on the fairways or cart path only when it rains like most other courses do it would get better. Who knows.

Good value. Fairways were a little rough but not unexpected this time of year. Greens were better than expected.

We had a threesome and we were rushed all day long by 4 or 5 groups hitting up on us. I enjoy playing the course but the people playing that day were semi-rude. After we let 4 groups go by us a senior group playing off the yellow (senior tees) hit up on us three times, the last was a ball that rolled right through us on the green. We were not playing slow enough for this type on unsportsmanlike response form a slow group of seniors. We had already let 3 or 4 groups play through. Not right.

The course was in good shape for winter play except for greens; they were very rough and bumpy. The pace of play was excellent.

This about my 6th or 7th round here. Everything usually goes pretty good. Pace of play etc. It would be nice for the money you have to pay here maybe a cart person come around once in a while. The course is usually pretty well maintained for a desert course. Overall its good and fun challenging place.

Friendly Staff great food and Course Wonderful even after all the rain highly recommend this course
