So I played this course yesterday which is rated the top public course in bakes (so I heard), River Lakes in bakersfield(I dont' live far from bakersfield). Anyways the view from the club house patio was amazing which made me really want to play. Lots of water hazards and green grass. The course weaves inbetween housing condos or apartments all of which seemed pretty nice.I haven't played very many courses , but this seemed pretty strange. The sand traps did not have 1 grain of sand in them. They looked like brown mud holes (there was only a tiny bit of mud actually). Just run of the mill average brown compact dirt. So anyways I was wondering if you guys though that was strange and also I was wondering how you guys feel about courses that have houses / fences / dogs on both sides of the fairway at all times?

I've never played there and I live only about an hour and a half from there in Ridgecrest. So were you disapointed with the course or did you enjoy the overall setup of it? I have yet to play any other courses except China Lake, but I'm assuming anywhere is better than here lol.....How often do you play?

I play once a week , but I don't usually go to bakersfield everytime. Both the courses there are much better than china lakes according to my friend ( i have never played there).I like the kern river golf course a little better actually. try them both out. I felt uncomfortable playing with houses on either side of the course but actually it was a real treat gettin to play somehwere else.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times.

      I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.

      Day 6  (26 Jun 26) - Played 18 today in the Friday men's group shootout.  Would love to say it was an awesome round, but it wasn't  - had a tough day with the putter (especially on the front - short putts missing left or right or just short - just could not get a feel for the greens).
