Links at RiverLakes Ranch

Great time with friends. Fun course to play, will definitely play here again.

Although the price to play this course was good, the conditions of the greens are severely in bad shape on the back nine holes.

These greens were punched a few weeks ago and they are in great condition. The fairways look like fairways. The only complaint I have is the sand traps and bunkers are hard sand, not the kind you want to hit out of. Overall a great place at a great price.

A well maintained challenging course right in the city at moderate price.

I played here as a single and it was my first time here. I don't know much about California golf, being from WI, but the greens were quite bumpy and a little long. I expected it to be a little better for the price that I paid ($25). Fairways were just ok and the tee boxes were fine too, I just couldn't understand the greens. I don't know if it was two different types of grasses or that they hadn't been cut in a while but they were more bumpy than anything I've played.

The course design is great. Bunkers along the fairways were not the place to be, but you usually had a chance to get it out and maybe near the green. The front 9 is easily walkable but you will need a cart on the back because the holes are really spread out. The back is much tougher than the front. Lots of water as well all over the course.

I would play again but I wouldn't want to pay quite as much.

I travel all over the country for work so I really depend on golf now and the reviews for places to play. Most of the time, I'm a first time player at every course, so I think it's important for people who use this service to provide an accurate description of the course.

I hate to speak bad of this place because the people who work there seem knowledgable and kind. Unfortunately, that's the only thing this place has going for it. The tee boxes are full of weeds, the fairways are much of the same, the bunkers are like hitting off of concrete and don't even get me started on the greens. On multiple occasions, I tried to wash my ball only to find out it was dry. I only saw two watering stations and the second one had no water in it. Keep in mind it gets into the triple digits here on a regular basis. Oh yeah, the water fountains were out of order as well. I will be driving a little further away when I visit Bakersfield in the future.

Booked a tee time but had to wait for a tournament to finish snd as a result only able to play 9 holes before darkness.

conditions verging on terrible. greens need rolling, many had dead spots or no grass.

Booked the hot deal rate (20 bucks) for Thursday golf 11:53...arriived, got right out, played as a single, and breezed thru the day - course in fine shape (still a few patches of greens repair here and there) ...RL is a very nice links layout, filled with water, forced carries, "thinking" holes, and two tirered greens...sand in bunkers could be better. Clubhouse and proshop are high end country club style - staff is terrific!

Had to pay even though I had a rain check. People are allowed to practice on the course because there is no Marshal. The staff has no clue. The greens are in bad shape but yet they charge as you were playing Augusta National. The carts are never charged properly. They over book, pace of play is horrendous.

The course is in nice shape and is maintained well . The only bad thing I would have to say about this visit is that the play was slow . Always waiting 3 to 5 minutes to tee off, and never seen a Marshall to get things sped up . I would still come play it again.

Some greens and fairways were in poor shape. Played in winter time. Beer prices are ridicules. 18.00 for a 6 pack and they do not even provide a cooler. They put it a plastic bag. Ice melted quickly and beer was warm.

I had so much fun this course is so fun to play. It also a great. Great people at golf course.

We have played this course when it was in pristine condition but played like a links course. Today the rough are still "rough" but the surrounding areas are either dry or dirt. Some fairways are also dry but majority are in good shape. Most greens have recovered nicely but we played at least 4 BAD greens. I was disappointed to see the green on 18. It was bad!!! and it is supposed to be the signature hole.

The course is recovering from green damage but still has a long way to go. The fairways and tee boxes are in better shape than the greens. The rough isn't long but it is thick and your ball will sit down on wayward shots. The traps are like cement. This can be a great course once the greens are back in shape.

Nice lay-out but the greens are horrendous. Greenskeeper are sleeping on the job. I remember when the greens are so pristine and playing the course is such a joy.

I have played this course at least twice a year for the last ten years when I am in Bakersfield. This is the last time. The greens are UNPLAYABLE. The staff did not even mention this at check-in. If I had not purchased my green fee on Golfnow, I would have demanded a refund. The rest of the course was not much better. The grass is over growing the cart paths, the bunkers are in poor shape and parts of the course are getting no water while some parts are too wet. Attached is a picture of the greens. only two greens were puttable. Next time I am in Bakersfield, I will be at Kern River GC.

Would not recommend this course until they have there greens fixed. the condition of the greens are Very Poor due to black mold few have grass and they are trying to water through it not just replant and p[lace new

Would be a nice course but the greens look terrible.

Riverlakes was once a decent course and in fairness the fairways and rough are in decent shape despite the water shortages and blazing heat. The course also has a pretty decent layout for a flat track with no natural water. Problem is, more than half of the greens are totally unplayable and the bunkers are just mud. Starter didn't mention the conditions. I won't play again until they can get this sorted out.
