Good value
Great for 33 bucks. Conditions were pretty good. A couple of bunkers were under repair. Staff was great. My only complaint would be pace of play. Had 4 groups on the same hole at one point. For the price though you can’t beat it.
Backed up play
We love to play at Kern River Golf Course, I just think that single and two person teams should be grouped together to make the day of play go smoother and not be backed up at every hole waiting and waiting.
Ortega cheeseburger
Love this track and eating all their food.
Bang 4 buck!
Bang for your buck
Great course, we had a great time. The greens are very hard to read for myself and that makes it even more of a mission to play. Fairways and greens are in great shape. Pace of play was not an issue at all.
Hope you have all day
It was a 6 1/2 hour round, nothing else needs to be said
Greens still healing
The greens were punched here about three weeks ago.we have had a lot of hot days this month setting records.One would think that the grass would grow fast and heal by now. Greens were a bit bumpy and a bit slow. The rough is pretty thick and we lost balls just off the fairways. Played faster than normal. Things aren’t quite back to normal but had a good day overall.
Ok
Decent course in town just never fun to show up and find sand punched greens. No heads up from the staff… and still charge full price? 👎🏼
Pace of Play
Marshal was definitely needed pace of play was way too slow. Back 9 took almost 3 hours to play group in front got a hole behind multiple times.
Great round
Debbie and the staff are amazing!the course was in great shape, and pace of play was good.

If you haven’t played here yet, you’re missing out! This is easily a must-visit spot in Kern County.
Here is the breakdown of why I’ll definitely be back:
The Vibe: Super friendly staff that makes you feel welcome from the moment you pull up.
The Views: It’s a beautiful, lush green course. Between the elevation changes and the wildlife sightings, there’s never a dull moment on the fairways.
The Range: Well-kept and perfectly marked—great for getting your eye in before the round.
The Extras: Do not skip the restaurant! The lunch is wonderful. Also, the Pro Shop is stocked with some awesome equipment and accessories if you're looking to upgrade your bag. 🏌️♂️

Great food and traditional track makes for awesome round of golf.
Home Course
Love this place, i play here often since its 10 minutes away from my house. Its easy to play, no big hazards like water or huge bunkers. Never had an issue with staff or the course. Weekends just like any other course gets packed and you will have your ocasional slow players but overall its a fantastic golf course. I highly recommend.
Best full public course in bakersfield
Better than what you’d expect from Bakersfield public courses.
Pretty wide fairways but most par 4s play pretty long. Crowned greens make it so you need to hit good shots with lots of spin to stick the green. Bunkers while not great are better than the gravel offered at other courses around. Greens roll pretty wild depending on pin location and you’re going to get a few more 3 putts on what you would expect to be an easy lag.
If you get a hot deal you can’t expect any more from a public course.
Also whoever designed the course sliced their driver because every hole is a dogleg right except 2.
