*Huge 'county park' setting.
*Lots of trees to not only add to the challenge but provide shade in the Bakersfield heat.
*Two canals/creeks run through the course. And the Kern River can come into play on a couple of holes.
*Minimal civilian traffic.
*Plenty of drinking fountains, picnic tables, and BBQ grills.
*Course will challenge everyone. Lots of long holes but accuracy is just as important.
*Course does not favor right/left, backhand/sidearm players. A lot of varied shots are required.
*No real elevation changes but after playing the Shark Tooth course that will come as a relief. Distance, water, and trees more than make up for the lack of terrain.
*Baskets are in great shape and marked clearly.
*Although not all of the tee pads are installed the ones that are there are huge.
*Friendly locals who would be more than happy to show you around (and show off their course).
*Informational kiosk near Tee #1 but try and grab a map online to bring with you.

*All-in-all an excellent course that will only get better as pads and signs are installed.
*Lots of ducks, geese, and peacocks if you're into that thing.
* A great compliment to the Shark Tooth course. The 36 holes at Hart Park are absolutely worth making the trip to Bakersfield.
