Fun course
I hit this course at least one time a month. Really enjoy coming out here even in the hot sun. I caught a twilight round for the most part everything was pretty good. Only thing I didn’t like was how my cart key was thrown at the desk instead of being handed to me. Guy at the desk seemed bothered that I was interrupting his mmm and his friend’s fantasy football draft convo… Pace of play was a bit slower than normal, didn’t know the high school teams were practicing. Tee time was 5:20p and I was almost able to finish all 18 by 7:45p.
4 hours for nine holes
There was a tournament in session at the course did not get to finish 18
This course looks brand new!
The course is well maintained and the staff are friendly. Can’t wait to go again!
Nice municipal course
This is the best municipal course in Kern county in my opinion. Fairways are wide. The biggest reason for just an average rating is there is no real rough and no water hazards. The greens are in great shape.
The laid out of the course is not that great. People on the other hole or myself can hit to other side. This can be dangerous.
Bad Day/Time, Marshall Useless
We went on a Tuesday which is apparently the same time as their Men's League. Groups were HUGE and very slow as they were obviously gambling at each hole. Guy at the desk told us to start whenever we wanted. Big Mistake! The reason you have tee times is to keep everyone on track and what should have been a quick 3.5 hour round became a 4.5 hour slog. Course marshall sat parked under a tree while people blared music loudly and sat on the greens for up to 10 minutes. The only draw is it's usually got open spots and the course is nice.
Always a fun challenge
This course is always the most fun. It has the best views of any course in Bakersfield, the staff is always super helpful and the rates are great. My favorite course.
Great course!
Love Kern River! Amazing course l, Berry fun to play.
Never saw a marshal
Would recommend course, but not for weekend play. It is way to slow on the weekend. Staff is cool, there are decent food and drink options here.
