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!
Fun Course a little far from town
Definitely a fin cousre just a little too far from town for me.
tipical california mid priced course
tipical california mid priced course. Course laid out to preserve and make best use of the water available while trying to keep cost down. (they did a good job) Many bare spots off the fairway but like I say if you don't like the bare spots (or rough) don't hit it there.
Pleasant day and friendly staff.
Good Course to break up the Drive
I played on a Wednesday afternoon in November so pace of play was super fast. Only had one walker in front of me who let me through without any issues. I was traveling from Nor Cal to LA and got tied up a work so I was late for my tee time. Staff was super friendly and accommodating.
Clubhouse is nothing to write home about, but what is a genuine surprise is the great food selection!!!
Course itself is a little above average. Greens were fine and average speed (a little slower than preferred).
Some of the Tee boxes needed re-leveling.
Overall it was a fun course out in the middle of nowhere that helped break up the drive.
Golf/Football Trip
Stopped by this course on the way to the Raiders football game from Las Vegas. The course setup is basic with only a few blind shots to very receptive greens that were soft but well manicured. Overall a nice layout that led to some low scores for everyone playing. The price was very reasonable for the round of golf we were looking for and the staff were very nice. Being that there are not too many courses in the area, the golf course was a pleasant stop along our way to Oakland. Highly recommended if you're not looking to tax yourself too much.
Great Pace of Play
There is nothing better than great pace of play along with great golf course conditions. The weather was absolutely great and allowed my to enjoy a great paced round. I always enjoy Buena Vista because it offers the correct combination of easy and difficult holes.
No Etiquette
On the day that I played this course as well as plenty of other times that I've been out at Buena Vista there is no Marshall. You get no help from the Pro Shop when you call in about slow people. But then you look at it the people at the pro shop are the ones that put five and six people in a group and send them out to play. There are good golfers out there but there are also hacks out there who just won't move out of the way, they tear up the greens while putting.
