poor management

We were met on the turn heading to 10th tee by the
starter he said there was a 5 some ahead and he told them to let us play thru.
By hole 14 there were three groups waiting on the tee for them.
I called the pro shop and they said they would address. On 15 we asked to play thru one man said yes and three of us teed off. When the 4th addressed the ball they decided to drive off. They were pretty drunk or high. Its too bad ...potentially a great course.

Bakersfield best public

This is in my opinion the best public course in Bakersfield Does not have back and forth holes instead stretches out thru housing tract. Doesn’t have any funky holes all are very nicely designed. With large greens. Challenging but playable for all levels. I took a cart is walkable no major hills there is a few long walks between holes. 4 HC

Great course

The pace of game can be a little fast due to the fact that its always busy but over all a beautiful course to play. Had lunch at the clubhouse and the food was delicious.

Takes forever

If you’re expecting a 4 hour round as a single be careful. Weekends are 6 hour rounds. Tee times are spaced at 8 minutes apart and very few groups allow you to play through or join up. Lots of people who spend more effort pounding beers than golfing. No marshal on the course so carts are all over the place. Greens recently punched but course is maintained well. Very wet in the fairways but they are green. Not a bad course at all but someone needs to monitor groups and kick the drunks out.
