The Links at Riverlakes Ranch

The Links at Riverlakes Ranch is a public 18-hole links-style course in Bakersfield, California, designed by Dale & Ramsey. It has been voted #1 in Kern County for the last five years and is a popular round among Hole19 golfers in California. The layout plays 5,336 to 6,781 yards across flat terrain with undulations, lakes, and the Friant-Kern canal winding through the property. Almond orchards, Canary Island Pines, and redwoods line the course. The 18th hole closes on an island green. Practice facilities include an all-grass lighted driving range, a putting green, chipping and bunker areas, and a par-3 executive course. Lessons are available, including evening sessions. The full-service pro shop carries equipment and apparel, with staff on hand for equipment selection and lessons. The clubhouse dining room serves local California cuisine with cold beer, mixed and soft drinks, daily specials, and Happy Hour from 4pm. It overlooks the 18th green and fairway. A full bar and patio are also available.
