Awesome Course!
We’ll kept course with amazing views! Staff is friendly! Appreciate the cold water between holes!
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
Very Big course with decent special prices for seniors
A lot of property, lots of different strains of grass, some draught areas, loved the elevation holes, price was right, but HOT weather can take a toll on you.
Average
First time playing here. The pace was bad for a 8:30 am tee time. When I got there they paired me with 2 which is fine for a single. Then they made that 2 some a 4 some within 5 min and then asked me to go out as a single chasing 2 groups of four
I quickly caught up to them and we made it a 5 because the groups ahead were slow and no ambassadors were to be found
I got a $40 Sunday AM tee time here with cart which is pretty good. They do have multiple water stations which was much appreciated
Very flat and easily walkabout.
Kern River Golf course
Course is in good shape. Was a little wet early in the morning. But in great shape
Best golf
Probably the best municipal to play in Kern County. Clean and well kept. Play here every month.
Good Challenge for All Levels
This is a fairly challenging par 70 course. It features 3 par 3s that are about 190 yards plus. The par 3s alone make this course a challenge. It also has three 400 plus par 4s that can be difficult for new and short-distance hitters. Greens are usually quick. This course is a good challenge.
