James C. Haggerty North Kern Golf Course

Only my 3rd time playing at North Kern, for sure will be back again soon. Brought my friend here for his 1st time ever golfing and we had a great time ⛳️

Good course pace of play was really good never really waited for anyone. Course conditions could have been a big better lots of water on greens but with it being 113 this weekend I understand the need for saturation.

Great value, friendly staff! Awesome day in these days of uncertainty.

Really nice municipal course. Fairly quick greens in good shape for this time of year. Very forgiving layout. Enjoyable day.

I haven't golfed here in over 20 yrs but the coarse was in excellent condition. The greens were challenging to the point you better go up before your 2and or 3rd shot to see were you need to hit it too. The par 4's are long and a nice challenge to the experience golfer. Definitely will play again!

Not bad for a county course. Greens are in fairly good shape and roll well.

Bunkers tend to either be wet or like rock, which makes green side bunkers almost impossible to hit out of.

Staff is very friendly which is a plus!

I had not played NK in a little bit. I was not sure how the course would be but it was about as good as it could be. The greens I found to be very nice with just a tiny bit of sand residuals left from their last sanding but not enough to affect putts. I actually scored one of my lowest rounds ever. IF you can keep it in the fairway you get a great roll.

Oh and the burger I had was one of the best anywhere. Absolutely a must have.

I could have played cheaper than the “hot deal” on golf now.

Nice greens course could be in better condition fairways wise. Friendly people on course and I enjoyed it.

They have the most unfriendly,rude man behind the counter. He always is rude about us using golf now. If it wasnt for him,we woyld play there more.

The reports of this course being closed are greatly exaggerated! This course has always been underrated but in truth the long yardages make it a challenge. Tell your friends! North Kern is very playable. The condition is no worse than it has always been. It is not a country club but a true public, great deal course, go play!!

Good course ,Need a Marshall to police some golfers on rules.But other then that good round of golf

Played Mar 13

Tees were mostly good with areas of damage and some unlevel

Fairways were hit and miss as many varieties of grass are present and dormant to green could be had as a lie

Green surrounds were also hit and miss anything from lush to bare

Rough was non existent

Greens were mostly good smooth and medium to fast. There were a few greens that had very poor patches. The difficulty is reading these greens as the land slopes mostly towards the valley bottom but visually it fools you, definitely a home course advantage here.

Played mid March, First time playing in the Bakersfield CA area and not sure when the optimal season is.

Compared to home conditions the fairways were in rough shape overgrown with clover and many bare spots throughout. Greens were mostly in good shape and play tough but true.

Plays long White Tees over 6,500 with many par 4's over 400 yards 1 was 454 yds. Par 3's almost 200 yds.

Par 5's were a good length for 3 shot play.

Kitchen facilities were closed at 3:00 pm
