Good course to frequent!
Course was in great shape. Greens were punched recently, they’re are fast and true (if people are fixing their ball marks). Fairways and roughs are green on consistent. Probably the best maintained course you can find in Kern right now.
Otherwise, a lot of people that come out don’t know what pace of play is, nor do they know much about golf etiquette at all (I.e. not getting drunk and screaming about EVERYthing while people are putting nearby). But maybe that’s just local golf in Bakersfield.
Overall, had a great time and made the putt of my life.

Take out the Driver and rip it!
I like this course when I want to use my driver. Gentle hills and wide fairways make this course ideal for the big hitters.

challenging holes with big boy length on some holes
I just as very surprised how long several of the par 3 ‘s and 4’s were. Probably a couple of the longest in the area.

Mad house
Went on a Sunday afternoon and pace of play was horrendous. People yelling on other holes while people are trying to tee off, I had to ask them to stop yelling. People doing drugs it was the worst experience I had experienced at Kern River

Play somewhere else
Roughs around green are so long and mixed with weeds/crab grass. Good luck chipping out of them. Tee boxes are beaten down. Carts can barely stop. Bag straps have screws in them to fasten your bag. No cart girl all day Sunday. Oh and 200 yard par 3s. Save your time and the drive and pick another course in Bakersfield
