Solid course in Bakersfield

2nd time playing here but it had been several years since the first. Solid course in good condition except for the bunkers that were either muddy or rock hard or both. Pretty straightforward layout that allows you to recover errant shots on other fairways on most holes. Favors right handed players as most of the potential trouble is on the left for the holes that border the property. Good restaurant at the club house and friendly staff. Got it on hot deal for $25 including a cart which was a great value considering it still hasn’t gotten super hot yet for the summer.

North Kern

A fine course for non-elites. Had a great day with my 2 Marines. Good condition after a great rainy season. Yes, we play Riverlakes. (Lots of duck poop), and Rio Bravo as well, which are also very nice

North Kern

Greens are very hard and very fast. Fairways are ok, though inconsistent. Sand traps are very difficult. They have a little bit of sand and very hard underneath. The rough is overgrown and the gophers have made the ground very rough and uneven.

Nice for a straightforward Game

Not many hazards and most holes are straight from the tee box. Went after a few rain storms and the ground was a bit soggy in places, gave a little hazard conditions to play around. Overall really nice and forgiving course to play on!

Only worth it with a hot deal…

Course is in OKAY shape. Disappointed. Greens were very slow. Sand traps unplayable and many filled with puddles of water. Fairways were good. They charge $50 to play here on the weekend here normally though. Not worth it IMO.
