About The Links at Riverlakes Ranch

The Links at Riverlakes Ranch in Bakersfield is one of the San Joaquin Valley's most distinctive public golf courses, routed through the master-planned Riverlakes Ranch community with a links-inspired design that takes advantage of the open, wind-swept terrain typical of the southern Central Valley. Wide fairways, strategic bunker complexes, and minimal tree coverage give the course an open, breezy character that rewards strategic thinking and wind management — skills that experienced links golfers appreciate. Water features integrated throughout the community add visual interest and strategic challenge. For Bakersfield golfers, Riverlakes provides a quality public option with upscale community surroundings that elevate the experience above standard Central Valley municipal golf. Summer heat demands early tee times, while spring and fall offer ideal playing conditions.
