San Lauren Park is quite small neighborhood park with a 9 hole mini course playing through the lush lawn area. The park has a playground, dog park, water play area, basketball court, picnic area, and restrooms. The course has very small holes with all holes well under 250 feet, providing for a miniature golf feel. Most of the holes are wide open with very small, newly planted trees as possible obstacles, as the trees grow so may the challenge. Every hole is aceable. As others have mentioned the course was put in as a boy scout project and plays very much as a youth course. The course is lit for nighttime play. Good warmup for some of the areas more challenging courses.

Crossing Fairway, several fairways cross making playing while others are there difficult and it does seem to be a widely used course.
Holes too close together. Several tees are too close to baskets and fairways.
Holes playing too close to the road. The park itself is very small making several of the fairways close to roadways. Most holes are very short so control shouldn't be a problem for most players, but beginners may struggle.
Navigation was a little tough with hole info scratched into concrete located at tee locations. Map is definitely helpful, but the course is so small you can walk your way around easily enough.

Very easy youth style course. Great for putter and mids practice. No real length for drives. Only two miles from Kern River park on Mohawk a much more challenging course. A good place to start playing disc golf in the Bakersfield area a very rich disc golf area.

The is the easiest of the Bakersfield 7 and therefore the perfect choice to bring that 9 year old or the newbie. The course was made for those types of players...and guys like me looking for ACES!
San Laurel Park is a small (probably 1 city block x 2 city blocks) little neighborhood park. It has lots of small trees recently planted. As they grow, they will provide more challenge/interest to this course. The park has a children's play area, parking lot, bathrooms and a BB court.

For a Boy Scout project, I thought the lads did an excellent job. The baskets are Innova DISCatchers with the yellow bands. There are no signs but they're really not needed on a course this small. The tee pads are very small (3' x 5') concrete except for the # 8 pad, it's even smaller. The pads have the hole # and a directional arrow pointing at the basket engraved in the concrete. These tiny pads don't provide any run-up but at least you can stand on them and throw. Probably only # 2 could even need a run up and it's probably only about 240'.

I wish the pads were just a little bigger. The trees will grow and increase the challenge factor. If you think this course is too easy, then graduate up to City In The Hills or Silver Creek or Riverview or Kern River. There's lots of choices around here.

I've played maybe five Boy Scout project courses and San Laurel Park DGC is probably the most well made. It's also an excellent Beginner course. Right now, it's a little boring but as the trees grow, I think the course will become a tad bit more challenging.

Bakersfield has this nice range of courses stair stepping up in nice increments, from the very easy Pitch & Putt beginner course here at San Laurel to the brutally hard physical challenge of Shark Tooth Mountain.

From Easy to Hard:

San Laurel Park
City In The Hills
Silver Creek Park
Kern River Park
Riverview Park
Suicide Flats
Shark Tooth Mountain

Bakersfield disc golfers have a nice variety of courses to choose from, with two easy beginner courses, one slightly harder beginner course, two intermediate courses and then two courses that will challenge anyone.
