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

Great day out

Any day golfing is better than any day working. I love getting out and playing a round with my friends.

This is a great course and a great value. Lots of fun. I keep coming back for a reason.

Slow pace

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

Great value

The course is not extremely challenging but the GolfPass discount make this course a great value. Absolutely worth the $25 green fee that included the cart. They also have discounts most days of the week if you sign up for a daily text. The biggest issue I have with the course is driving the course anywhere but the path or middle of the fairway, my teeth get jarred out of my head due to gopher holes. I guess what that means is I should be better at golf and hit it in the fairway.

First Impressions

When I first arrived at the course I wasn't to thrilled about the layout. Inside the club house it looked like it needed a re-model. Old bathrooms, needs to be updated. The staff didn't smile or were very friendly.

The carts looked very used and dirty. As I started playing I was surprised that the Golf Course played very good. The Greens were consistent. I like the layout of the Course.

North Kern is a good place to play. They need to make you feel welcomed! Just a few changes need to be done.
