Kern River Golf Course

Kern River Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-70 layout that plays 6,458 yards in Bakersfield. The course includes a driving range, and standard pricing makes it an accessible public option. The solid yardage and par-70 setup create a course that rewards consistent ball-striking across a full 18-hole round.

The course sits off Rudal Road on the east side of Bakersfield, in the southern Central Valley. Rio Bravo Country Club, Bakersfield Country Club, and Sundale Country Club are among the nearby options. Bakersfield’s hot, dry summers and mild winters allow for play throughout the year, and the flat valley terrain keeps the walking manageable.
