Kern River

Summary

Kern River is a public 18-hole golf course in Bakersfield, California, USA, within the broader USA - West golf landscape. The course follows a parkland layout, a style commonly associated with inland golf, tree-lined corridors, more sheltered playing conditions, and a routing that tends to reward placement from tee to green. It is attributed to William F. & William P. Bell and traces its origins to 1953, details that place the property within an earlier generation of American course design and give it a profile consistent with many long-established courses of the same era.
