Great Value
Good golf. The starters and food service was grouchy. The food prices are very good.
Fun course
Kern River is fun course. Not really long but quite challenging. Several holes require thoughtful placement off the tee. Greens are reasonably sized fir the Valley. Great value. I’m looking forward to the next round.
Kern River Golf course spring time review.
This golf course is in very good condition with the exception of wet sandtraps. The best shape this course has ever been that I can remember.
Best Public Course
As the title says, Kern River golf course is, in my opinion, the best public course in Bakersfield. The green are always well kept. The fairways are always cut and green. I enjoy playing Kern river as much as I can. The staff is always welcoming, and you can’t go wrong with ordering from the kitchen. Thank you guys for giving us a great golf course in Bakersfield.
Great track
Great staff, excellent condition, great practice facilities.
Great course
Drove over an hr to play this course and was not disappointed great course very well maintained!! Definitely playing it again!
Punched Greens
Decent course. Drove over an hour to play and once we got to the green on hole #1 discovered the greens were recently punched. A notice would have saved me a trip until conditions were (correctly) playable.
Course in great shape for county course
The only issue I have with county courses in the lack of descent fairway grass. With that said it is fall now and the Bermuda is going dormant. Other than that the greens were surprisingly quick but in good condition and the sand bunkers (and yes I know from experience, lol) were nice white fluffy sand. All in all it's in great shape and recommend it.
Nice course at a reasonable price
I would play here again. Could use a nice patio area and there is plenty of room for one.
Great Conditions
Course seemed to be in one of the top conditions Ive ever experienced at a "county course". 17 out of 18 greens were smooth and well manicured while the green under construction seemed to be headed in the right direction. Sand traps are actual sand which seems hard to come by. Give this course a shot if you're looking for quality golf.
enjoyed playing for first time,want to come back
liked the course and it's condition looking forward to playing the course again
