Grounds Maintained Very Well
The course has always been in great condition, bushes and trees trimmed. Fairways are cut short and can see divots being filled by staff. Putting greens are also kept up for the ball to roll smoothly. My only gripe is the pace of play, most times our group is waiting on the group in front of us who are waiting on a group in front of them.
Great Course; a little slow
I play here every so often. Course is in great condition, lush and green. Sand is honestly not bad either. Layout is fairly easy. Pace of play is the only ding I’d give it. It’s high school season so tournaments/practices often. Got stuck behind a tournament last week, wish I would’ve gotten a little heads up from the pro shop. Otherwise, great local course
Tough course but poor tee times
There was a tournament going on behind us so we felt rushed but also tournament players were being rude to a child on the course even though he was under supervision. Tournament play needs to be scheduled in the morning not late afternoon when it’s busy. Most likely won’t return
Happy camper
I play kern river quite often its one of the best maintained courses in bakersfield if not the best the value is fair my recent trip the greens were punched but they are always upfront about it and give u a discounted price so no worries always recomend
Always sloooooow! Too many 5 somes!
With all the rain recently, much of the rough was a bit overgrown. Very difficult to find your ball. Greens were recently punched but that’s at most courses that maintain their greens properly. The clubhouse is great! New ownership has invested a lot in maintenance. Fresh paint! Improved interior. Regular restroom maintenance. Great food!
“New” carts are very nice.
My biggest complaint isn’t with the course, it’s with the todays golfers which have no etiquette whatsoever. They’re loud, play their music so everybody can “enjoy” it. They bounce around the course to whatever hole they feel like playing. And worse of all, combining 3-4 carts and playing 6 people! I haven’t played this course under 5 hours in years. My best reason for playing here is I can afford to pay for a foursome that includes my 2 grandsons.
Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day was a good time to go as pace of play was better than usual. Finished in under 4 hours. Given the time of year the course was in good condition.
Too slow
Players hitting 2/3valls off the tee no good can't finish 18 just stopped on 11 to slow
