We took advantage of their Top Tracer, which keeps stats such as distance and direction of each swing with fun games and challenges to play. We had all skill levels represented in our group, from newbies to longtime golfers, and we all had a great time. The Ultimate Drive provides a great experience for all. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The facilities were very clean and well maintained. It is evident a lot of heart and pride has been poured into this place to make it a true gem for our community.

I absolutely love this place! Just had my daughter's birthday party here and everyone had so much…read morefun! We had a private party as I am one that worries about safety for all attending kids in any setting. First it was the easiest booking I have ever done. Go on their online calendar, see available dates and times, choose and either pay a deposit or entire payment. It took exactly 5 min to book this party. Loved the convience. After that I recieved emails of the receipt, and further things to know and reminders. Obviously the owners know what good customer service looks like. On the day of the party we had two of the sweetest attendees working and making my daughters birthday fabulous! Place is clean, nice and cool which is a must in Bakersfield scorching heat and music was on point. They gove you choice and when we finally decided on Michael Jackson, thats when this party became epic . Everyone enjoyed themselves, kids were safe and we had no worries. My daughter had the best birthday party and we have Skateland to thank for that.

I was a little apprehensive at first the location seems a…read morelittle/lot sketchy and the exterior was pretty ran down and upon walking in it was pretty outdated!! But right away a friendly employee helped check us in and the prices are very reasonable $8 entry and $2 skate rental!! The place is outdated but kept pretty clean! The rink itself was in very good condition and they have a few rink monitors that keep everything safe! The snack bar has quite a few items to choose from At very reasonable prices! So glad we came and will definitely be back again! Don't judge a book by its cover!

I honestly believe that the River Grill makes the best cheeseburgers in Bakersfield, and at half…read morethe price of a lot of places. The Fries are perfect, the beer is cold and the drinks are very good. I've also had a patty melt, a pastrami sandwich, and a hot dog which were all delicious too. The course itself is in as good of shape as it ever has been, and you will not find a more economical round of golf in the state or maybe even the country. The pro shop is looking good and the lady who works the counter is a gem. The only thing wrong with The Kern River Golf Course is some of the players who are slow, and don't fix their ball marks, but you can't blame the course for that. It's sad, but a class in course etiquette should be mandatory before you can play anywhere. It would be much more enjoyable for everyone! One more thing, they just installed some new state of the art drinking fountains that provide cold purified water. Nice extra feature!

The course was crowded because of the weather. Probably the nicest day of the year so far for golf.

I enjoyed a delicious patty melt. The course from all the rains and fog in fantastic shape. mountains surrounding the course are emerald green. Lake Ming looked inviting there was even a boater out on the blue mirrored like water . The greens were very fast but they held your good shots. The bunkers had good sand. Tee boxes and fairways were all in fine shape as well. Kern River has a professional friendly staff that keeps of course, looking good and is well maintained. It's been awhile since Ive played because of the weather we've been experiencing and my score showed it.Our round took about 4 1/2 hours, but I can't complain It was such a beautiful sunny clear day. Thanks Kern River. I'll be back out for a better score soon.

Then they killed the gun range and instructor range. They've done everything they can to destroy the spirit of this place. Opened up membership to non veterans. Dude.. it was a veterans park. It was a special place for US. It's like they've done everything they can over the last 6-9 months to make it the worst place possible. It's pretty clear that the board has chased everyone of so they can make their own (illegal) money off CCW classes at the back range. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You're not that clever. They don't want you or veterans there. It's all a private bar for the board now. Hope this place gets absorbed by the county. Was good while it lasted. You've done an indescribable disservice to the veteran community

Due to a accident it's been 18 months since I played a round of golf out at Buena Vista Golf…read moreCourse. My 21 mile out was met by a few banks of heavy fog and lots of workers headed west towards Taft and the oil fields. It was cool and crisp at 8:00 am when we checked in, $40 for 18 is still a deal. The pro shop didn't really have much merchandise at all which concerned me. The gentleman who checked us in was pleasant. We putted for about 10 minutes before we were up at 8:30. I noticed the driving range, it looked terrible. There were few early strong willed groups out in front of us. This course is classic with the all the different elevations and different terrains. The greens are in good shape, large and tricky, they challenge your game, most all break towards Taft that hasn't changed. The tee boxes weren't too bad, sand traps were all in poor condition, fairways were the same, shaggy and tough with many gopher and squirrels holes. Numerous trees on the course were in need of attention broken and down limbs some require removal. Cart paths are also in need of repairs. This beautiful course is in rough condition. I heard rumors that were mainly because of high water rates that have escalated to the breaking point for management. This used to be a Kern County gem, a fine place to play a round of golf or hold a tournament. Snack bar was always busy great lunches. Why can't the County or the City of Taft partner together drill a well or help with the serious problem out here? We (County) spend money for many causes and fund numerous questionable programs let's save a this classic venue before its too late. Our round of golf today was sad because of the conditions, but always enjoyable due the fantastic views of surrounding mountains and extensive farm lands definitely post card worthy
