The Rough IS ROUGH!!!

For a course that does not have any water hazards it makes up for that by having really tall roughs that eat balls like a one-eyed dog in a meat house. And look out for the low rough because it has so many squirrel holes that your ball will easily and quickly disappear. Finally, go slow with your golf cart in that low rough or you’ll bounce your clubs right out of the back of your golf cart. These under maintained and high roughs make this course unusually challenging for the novice to intermediate players.

Course looking good can be better

This course is in better shape than many of the other local courses. Green’s especially well maintained. Fairways have some gopher mounds and holes. It would be nice if they put water coolers with ice water on the course. The water fountains taste terrible. Some day I hope they put good sand in the bunkers , right now most are hard dirt and unplayable. If they won’t add sand they should just throw soil in them and grass seed.

Not a bad course.

The course was, for the most part, pretty well maintained. Some muddy areas, but it was expected with all of the rains. For the price, it is pretty hard to beat.

The whole course smells like cat poo

It was a fairly windy day and the smell of cat poop was so strong from all the stray cats around that we just left after 8 holes. 10/10 would not recommend to play here even on a hot deal

best value

best value course in bakersfield. perfect place to sharpen your golf game, staff is friendly. can't beat the deals. only slightly negative thing are the bunkers, no problem just take the ball out and hit it on grass. no marshall so pace of play just depends on the day, weekdays shouldnt be too bad. the driving range is solid too, one of the few places in bakersfield with actual grass to hit from
