Golf Course Review Kern River Golf Course Bakersfield California

Reviewed by: bogeymaker, Bakersfield
Played Sunday late morning. Place was real busy. Almost 5 hour round. Was walking and still waited 10 to 15 minutes per shot. Very good weather must have brought the throngs out.

Course is in the transition from dormancy. Tees were very good. Fairways were also quite good. Rough is growing well full of various grass types and real thick in places. The green surrounds are over seeded and very green and thick. Bunkers are some of the better one around. Little hard on top, but deep underneath. Greens look great. Almost completely healed from a plugging. They are thick, very few ball marks and quite slow. Usually the are damp, but quick. So slow in fact I did not trust myself to hit the ball. Seemed wrong slugging them. Would suggest you play it if in those parts. $30 to walk on weekends, just don’t be in a hurry.

They now have frisbee golf to go along with foot golf too. That would become a zoo if anyone played the other two.
