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.
Fun shorter course
The course is always fun because of its shorter side, but offers a challenge with trees along the fairways at times. Pace of play is always an issue since there are trees along the fairway.
Fun but challenging and quirky.
Played on a Friday morning as a twosome. Used the driving range, which is grass but mostly dirt. Putting green was good. Course was in good condition, no complaints at the price point. Played from the white tees. 230 yard par 3 on 11 (tees were back from normal) and 219 yard par 3 on 17 are pretty long from the white tees on any course, especially with no elevation advantage. Some long par 4's as well, like the 458 par 4 3rd, which would be a par 5 at most munis. Staff were fabulous, from the cashier/starter to the cart/range guy and the girls at the grill. Food was good as well, and not overpriced like a lot of courses. I don't live in the area, played it on the way from SoCal to NoCal, but would definitely play again if I lived there.
Great first time golfing.
My gf and I went and neither of us are very good. Pace was perfect. Hit the grill after the 9th and the food was delicious. Staff is friendly and helpful. Lots of practice areas and a pretty nice driving range. Will definitely go again.
Top notch staff
Always greeted when walking in. The food is always on point and I feel like home when I'm here.
Good course nice people
All good at the course the players a team members working at the course very nice 👍
Really slow 5 hour round
Had to wait on most every shot all day.The clubhouse lets groups of 5 somes out on the course and were 1 plus holes behind the groups ahead of them. Found out they were their men’s club and didn’t let any groups pass them.
