$15 per rider?!

Overall the course is nice and pace of play was great since it wasn't busy at all. The only negative was that they charge $15 for an extra rider who isn't even playing. They should list that on their website or something to let the players know.

Poor Service

No water on the course! No ball cleaners. No snack bar. All sand traps are unplayable. Still making Covid the excuse even when all the courses in Bakersfield are operating as normal.

Greens

The greens are so slow!!! The slowest greens I have ever played. They need to be cut and rolled.

Paid full price and got half service.

As we were checking in the kid behind the cash register was telling another customer that "there were small pinholes in the green for maintenance". When I asked him to elaborate he said "this will not affect play at all"! These greens did not have a small pinhole in them they were assaulted. The kid behind the cash register also forgot to mention that The greens had been sanded. Golf now also forgot to mention when I purchased this round of golf that the greens had been aerated and sanded! The pace of play was really good because nobody took time on the greens, we played in a very fast pace.
