This is a wide open golf course, my favorite near Bakersfield. You shouldn't lose any balls unless the rough is long, then u might miss them in the grass. It's pretty clean, well kept. Price is very reasonable. 56 on weekends for 18 is average usual, carts included. They have food at the clubhouse, the breakfast sandwiches were okay, and near the 6th hole they always have hotdogs. The staff is friendly. They have a chipping area, a putting area and a driving range. You can see lake Ming nearby and its a treat to see the speedboats race there as you golf, if you like that sort of thing. My dad and I come here often.

I recently joined a club called Sparks. I was daunted at first but thanks to the helpful staff, It is a blast! The staff at Kern River had answered all of my questions and made this experience even more fun. Thank you all for helping us navigate our way through this new experience. We really had a great time and will continue on with our journey.

Great place to swing the sticks. Friendly staff, great prices, nice folks all having a good time! Highly recommend this GC to anyone in the area looking for a great round of golf. Very forgiving course, great for all skill levels. From the tee box, to the fairways, to the greens, all of it is well maintained and fun to play! 🤙🤙 Cant wait to play here agin!

This course is challenging enough for a pro, easy enough for a beginner. Great views of the mountains and lake. All around great course . Amazing food at the grill breakfast and lunch. Snack bar has full bar and snacks. ⛳
