Beautiful location
New to the area I’ve played a couple local golf courses. This may be my favorite. Excellent pace of play on a Wednesday. Friendly staff. Brand new golf carts. The course was in decent condition, I will return and play another day. Had a pretty good day, shooting a 78.

Good course to frequent!
Course was in great shape. Greens were punched recently, they’re are fast and true (if people are fixing their ball marks). Fairways and roughs are green on consistent. Probably the best maintained course you can find in Kern right now.
Otherwise, a lot of people that come out don’t know what pace of play is, nor do they know much about golf etiquette at all (I.e. not getting drunk and screaming about EVERYthing while people are putting nearby). But maybe that’s just local golf in Bakersfield.
Overall, had a great time and made the putt of my life.
