Slow play
Very slow play . Witnessed 2 -5 somes and a few groups that were a hole behind the group in front of them. Nice course but have to allocate 5 hours for a round. Greens in really good shape
Where is the Marshall on the weekends
The last two weekends we've played it has taken 5-6 hours to play (no breaks). This weekend we couldn't even finish. Got stuck behind some group of jacks that were literally just stopping in the middle of the fairways to chat, take shots. Last weekend there were 5 groups stacked at 17. I understand it's a public course and that's why the fees are a little less, but c'mon. There's no rhythm of play when you have to wait 5-10 minutes at each hole.
Friendly and no pressure
Great public course. Friendly staff. Great food. Definitely worth the money. No problem showing up early even on 'hot deals.' If there's room, they don't mind letting you tee off early. It's win win for everyone.
COURSE IN GREAT SHAPE
Better than 90% of courses in Bakersfield for this time of year.
Pace of play and staff
The pace of playing is very very slow they booked too many golfers 10 minutes apart half hour to 45 minutes to play staff not friendly at all
Great course
Course is smooth and well maintained.
Greens are smooth and fast
Sunny day in November
First time playing Kern River. Did not know the course so scoring well was out the door.
Green are nice and very fast. I enjoyed the long par 3’s. Not a flat course, made it challenging 👍
Great course, no rushing, beautiful day!
Course was well kept, pace of play was second to none! Nobody hitting up on us at all and we had to wait for nobody. The wildlife including hawks, squirrels, rabbits and geese was a bonus to watching. Definitely be back soon.
Slow play
The Marshalls need tto be more attentive. The pace of play was inhibitted by a rude 5 person group who were taking 20 minutes per hole. They were loud and rude not caring about players on holes close to them.
