Course Highlights
A lush, tree-lined layout with elevation changes and doglegs delivers a consistently engaging and well-regarded round for Kern County golfers. Welcoming staff, solid course conditions, and an on-site grill serving quality food make this a standout value.

Beautiful day to play some golf. Food and service is always great! Life is the best when fixing your own divots and others. We should be proud to make them, why not fix them.

Good course that would be very good with sand traps with good sand.
Short and long par 3s and par 4s. Greens are nice for public course. Wish they fixed the sand traps. Mostly heavy and wet sand.

Great Course
This is a great course, one of the nicer and more fun in Bakersfield. Pace of play can be rough due to how many golfers play in a day, I also feel like I run into more Senior walking groups here of 5. If you plan to play Kern River that is part of it, don't be in a rush and enjoy the day. Also, you can't go without getting a cheeseburger.
