Kern River Golf Course sits alongside the Kern River in Bakersfield, offering a flat, tree-lined layout that serves as one of the Central Valley's most accessible and affordable public golf options. The course winds through mature cottonwood and eucalyptus trees that provide welcome shade during Bakersfield's hot summers, and the river corridor creates a natural, relaxed setting that belies its urban location. It's a straightforward design that rewards accurate iron play and putting over power, making it ideal for beginners and high-handicappers while still providing an enjoyable round for experienced golfers who appreciate value. The course is well-maintained for a municipal facility and is a genuine community gathering place for Bakersfield golfers.
Kern River Golf Course has served the Bakersfield community for decades as a city-operated municipal facility. The course was developed to take advantage of the flat riverside terrain along the Kern River, and its tree-lined layout has matured into a pleasant parkland setting.
