Links at RiverLakes Ranch

Had a great time playing this course. Wide open links. Very well kept. I was a single and had a pleasure playing with the other 3. Highly recommended.

Staff was super friendly

Course was extremely well kept.

I’ll be back here soon.

No water to drink anywhere on course. The 2 water jugs we saw were empty…at 1pm? Prohibited to bring cooler on course, meaning you would die of heat stroke, as there are no snack carts or course snack kiosks. Therefore, you must bring personal water bottles etc to get by. Greens/fairways good shape. Weeds have taken over tee box, so have to move around alot. Very slow players, so everyone behind is driving thru, eventually backing you up even further. Carts all have ripped seats. Sign of financial difficulties status post Covid, less $$ in peoples pockets etc. I’m guessing this course is feeling the pinch, as is Rio Bravo. Thankfully, Tee Off app made this trip affordable and worthwhile, or I wouldn’t be back.

Bunkers are trash. They are muddy even at the end of the round after the course has dried up. There’s 4-6” of water in the bottom of each bunker. And muddy spots in the middle of the fairway on multiple holes.

Charged me a higher rate than my online reservation.

Course was fine, but why in the world is there no drinkable water on the course at all?? It is over 100 degrees and there is play being slowed down by maintenance workers watering greens but none available to drink. That is unacceptable. That issue needs to be corrected before someone has a heat stroke because of no available potable water.

There’s so much opportunity for this course but yea….

The greens were in great shape. Pace of play of fast. We only waited to tee off for a few minutes at the 10th hole. Of course it was middle of the day in the summer in Bakersfield. The only issue was that the restaurant and pro shop were closed by 5:00 pm so we were unable to get something to eat or drink after our round.

Overall real good layout good mix of short and long holes... not too tight but can’t spray it like a sundale. Condition could be improved. Greens aren’t great and bunkers are pretty terrible but for 22 bucks on a hot deal definitely good for the price. Just bring some water cuz there’s none out there. Overall 3.5/5

amazing staff, cart girl, and Lounge Staff.

Great experience start to end, Steady past of play, some golfer let us slide ahead no problem, others passed us and were very nice about it, greens were soft and firm, fairways were a little dry.

but overall great course to play on the 4th of July.

When I made the reservation they didn’t inform that they had aeration close for the front nine. So I played back nine twice which I hate to do. It was waste of money.

A Really fun layout. Don’t need Driver on every hole.

It’s a poor man’s PGA. West Stadium. Lots of bunkers and water. Need to play it some more to gets some knowledge. . Great practice facility and cool old school Ranch designed Clubhouse and Restaurant..

Fun day, greens were good and fairways are in good condition. Bunkers are dirt or mud. Overall , fun course

Zero sand in bunkers.

Golf carts in terrible shape and only 3 1/2 years old as people treat them like ATVs. Perhaps some Marshall’s to keep the carts of the par 3 terrain and off the greens.

Grill room has very very limited hours.

Staff if’s very friendly.

Great layout.

A little attention to the course and this could be a jewel.
