Hard pass

To be fair , the staff is great.

The course is not maintained well .

The greens are beat up from lots of players

refusing to fix ball marks .

Got stuck behind a large group of 5 carts all

playing together , between the 10 of them only one could make contact with the ball.

No Marshall to put a stop to this behavior .

Any way …….. don’t waste your time

Avoid High School Tournaments

We started playing around noon behind a High School tournament. They are extremely slow. I do like how this course is improving but avoid any day with a tournament if you can’t start early enough ahead of it. It’s great that new players are being introduced to golf but if you get behind to tournament expect a +5:30 round

Needs improvement

Arrived 45 minutes prior to tee time, purchased tokens for range balls, but the bin was empty so we didn’t get to warmup. The golf cart was not fully charged and we limped through the last five holes. The course was nice but the sand traps were like concrete, could use some attention. With that being said, overall had a good time.

Terrible Course

The course was in terrible shape. The fairways were very bumpy and the rough was horrible. I will not play tNorth Kern Golf Course again.
