Things continue to improve :-)

We have not played here in months. Got a good deal on a nice day so wanted to see how the improvements are coming along. It was great to see fluffy white sand in nearly all of the traps. Lots of trees have come down. Lots of improvement on some of the tee boxes and the aesthetics of the course. We are in winter here. Greens are fast and no surprises near the hole. However, the edges on some greens are ragged and just moist dirt. You can tell attempts are being made to improve and cold weather means it will take time. The fairways are pretty hard and grass is dormant. Average for the public courses here at this time.. We like the improvemnts and if the progress continues this summer should be great. We look forward to trying it out again in a coule months.

First Time Playing

I'd play again

Decent track with some challenges. Fast and ungulating greens make this course deceptively challenging. New tee boxes on the back 9 are nice. Hopefully the team replaces more tees the way they're doing on the back. All in all I had a good time on this course. If I'm in Bakersfield again, I'd play here.

Improvements Underway

A number of landscaping enhancements are evident with an appreciation for what grows regionally, including what looks like it will be a small crop of grapevines on Hole 5. Carts are newer and well appointed. Pro Shop is friendly and accommodating.. Lots of community activities at the clubhouse throughout the year. Fairways and a couple of greens needed some work, and from the look of things that work is underway.

To much for what’s offered

Expect a lot of caution tape. There is a lot of work being done to all holes and there is a lot of tape up on greens and fairways. This is my 5th ti playing here and it’s still to expensive for what they offer!!!!!

Getting better all the time

Have not played in two or three months and was encouraged to see more improvements happening on this course. More of the sand traps have real white sand in them, and it looks from the large pile of white sand that most traps will be filled with fluffy white sand. In this area, very few courses have good sand traps.

The golf carts are in good shape and have great navigation systems. However there are new cartpath and sometimes you drive up and the cart path is not programmed into the new navigation system and your cart stops and you got it back up to get back further away from greens. The new carts need to be programmed for the new cart paths.

Hope to play again sometime soon and looking forward to more improvements, clearly in progress.

Play was fast and greens in good shape as well as Fairways.
