Worse course in Bakersfield

The course conditions is terrible. Either your hitting on cement or mush no in between. Greens are full of divots, looks like they havent been maintained in months. Fairways are more dirt then grass and the sand traps were rock hard.

Do not recommend this course unless its under 15 bucks

Fast play, good greens, winter fairways

Good day to play, played fast. Greens good , traps looking much better with better sand. Tee boxes don’t have a lot of green grass.fairways dormant and hard pan often without green grass to hit off of. Typical January conditions on BFL courses.

Winter conditions, ball rolls far, greens in decent shape

Played fast, nice to see good sand in most traps. Greens in good shape. Wish more golfers would repair their marks. This course is improving over time. Fairway grass is dormant and very thin during winter and is common on all courses in this area.Water to drink on the course tastes nasty. The should provide water coolers at a few holes on the course not just the clubhouse.

Fun Course

One of the fun courses in town. Just on the outskirts of Bakersfield. Fairly easy par 5s if you can keep the ball straight. If you slice you can play from a different fairway (don’t ask me how I know). Some holes have small greens. Rough play is what makes the course tough. If you don’t hit a fairway it can present a challenge. Greens are nice when people repair their pitch marks. Better conditions now from years before. Also they offer deals after 10-11:30 depending on how busy the course is playing that day. Ask how to join their discount text message notifications.

Snack bar employees are great

The course is in better shape winter and spring than it is in the summer. Pace of play is really slow on the weekends, really 6 hour rounds. Weekdays are much better. I played last Wednesday it was a 4 hour round and we’re in no hurry. Hefty veteran discount on thursdays

Slow pace

Walked away at the end of the 5th, 1.5 hours to finish 5. That’s way too slow.
