Great pace of play
Greens were in good shape, firm and fast fairways a little rough, but greening up nicely
BV great !
Greens in good shape Fairways a little rough, but that’s par for the time of year pay supply was really good completed around and under four hours so definitely worth the drive compared to five hour rounds at Kern River and 4 1/2 hour rounds at North Kern
only downside is the drive
good value for the prices, even better with a deal. only downside is the drive out there
Pace of play
My only complaint was pace of play. There were 2 foursomes ahead of me and my partner and they refused to let us play through. By the end of the day it got real old. I almost wish people would have to sign off on knowing basic golf edict before playing. I understand the course can’t afford a Marshall right now but it’s pretty infuriating when players don’t know the basics. Staff are friendly and the course is just fine for being a public course.
Bumpy Ride
Course is a lot of fun in general. If you don’t stay on the fairway though it’s a very uneven ground and bumpy. Greens had some rough patches and it’s sometimes hard to find your ball because of all the debris on the ground, even on the fairway. Even that said I still recommend playing it, fun layout and challenging blind shots. Good for beginner and experienced golfer.
Fast greens, elevation changes lots of hills but needs some TLC.
Greens in good shape
The course was in good shape considering it’s still winter. The greens were in really good shape. Only a few greens had some issues, but overall very pleased with the course.
As Expected
Exactly what I expected after reading the reviews. Great greens, well kept, relatively cheap, and good pace. The only downside was the girls in the kitchen were rude.
Fun day with daughter
This course is a hidden gem. Great food good value and relaxed atmosphere. Oasis in the desert 🩷
Great round
Pay supply was excellent. Greens were in good shape. A few bad areas on a few of the greens.
Don't play here
Course was in terrible shape bare spots and straight up dirt in the middle of the fair ways. Some of the greens had massive lumps and crevices on the greens. Overall just wouldn't recommend this place.
Good value with GolfNow discount
This course is worth playing with the GolfNow discount, but the greens need work. Course is average, but again, with the discount it’s worth the money.
mole hills everywhere
Seems bakersfield courses have a mole problem which makes for a very bumpy ride!
