Links at RiverLakes Ranch

The pace was slow, but that's pretty common at this course. The greens were in rough shape for a while, but they are coming back nicely. The fairways are pretty moist and forgiving compared to the dirt/clay fairways of the public courses.

Course is good shape except the rain caused slower greens. It was hard to get a feel for the pace of the greens.

I have played this course in both summer and winter while visiting family. I am from Oklahoma so I do know something about hot summers. I would never play this course in the summer for some reason the greens keeper has lost the greens for the past few years. As to why I would never play this course again. I have never been on a course where it takes so long to play. I went off at 11:50 am. It was my broth-n-law and me and we finished at 5:45 pm waiting on every hole. Went into the clubhouse at the turn and asked if they could help us and all I got from them was that I will just have to wait my turn. People call us from Oklahoma a bunch of hillbillies. I promise you this. This whole course and the people running it are much worse. Save your money put a tuna fish can in the ground out in the field and you will have a bette time.

The a very fun course to play. With a few minor changes it could be one of the best courses in the area. The bunkers need more sand and the greens are now starting to get back into good shape. Overall it was a great course to play.

This course was great to play at and it had some beautiful holes, especially the 18th. It was a little bit longer and more challenging than I anticipated, which made it a lot of fun, but I would not recommend it for beginners. The food is also some of the best I've ever had at a golf course. The greens and fairways could have been in slightly better condition, but overall, I would golf there again if I'm in the area

I play this course quite often. I live within a mile. I always enjoy the course as it is a bit challenging and in good shape. Play can be slow sometimes. I almost always find a GOOD deal on GolfNow.

Slow play restaurant grill was closed when we were there at 4:00 appetizers didn't look good.

This was my second time I got to play this course I am not from this area, but had a good time like the course lay out. pace of play was kind of slow but I had nowhere to go. Golf now gave me a good deal. When I go out of town I always use golf now.

I was told when I checked into our hotel as well as read in numerous reviews that this is the best public course in Bakersfield. If that's the case then WOW. The course is average at best and the greens are in horrible shape. I playe cral munis here in Vegas that blow this away. Definitely not impressed.

Most of the greens pretty bad shape again. Always a good deal using golf now

This course is unique in that it is a Links style course which is rare to see in the states. Lot's of bunkers and they all vary in depth and length, one fairway bunker is 200 yards long. Each hole is different and not similar to the next which is refreshing. The clubhouse is like a country club, the bar/restaurant is excellent, lots of TV's, food is great and big servings, and they have an excellent beer/wine selection

Very nice course that could be great if they did not lose their greens EVERY summer. Bunkers need help. Fairways and tees great. Pace of play is slowed every Saturday morning by the best players who are in a skins game and think they are on tour. Five hour rounds the norm in am. My kid and I can play 18 in afternoon in 3 hours.

This course is in terrible condition, eight of the eighteen greens àre horrible,.WORST Course in Kern County. Save your money and play anywhere else.

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.
