Good tees for the front 9. Good use of obstacles and some good dstance for a small park. Nice park. Enjoyed playing 9. Met nice helpful local throwers. Easy to navigate.

It is set up to play as an 18 with playing the same holes over but tees are sidewalk and sandy. Holes 1-3 are good layouts but repetitive. After that there arejust less obstacles tto wrk with.

Did a tour-de-bako and this course was worth playing

Silver Creek Park is a nice, clean little city park with soccer, tennis courts, horseshoes, lots of walkers, a recreation center, play, teens smoking dope and more.

The baskets are excellent DGA models, heavy duty, although a couple have already been tagged. There are concrete tee pads and the basic little fiberglass tee signs. They give the usual info, hole #, Par and distance.
I followed a trio of locals and was confused to why they weren't using the tee pads. They kept teeing off from sidewalks. I finally caught up with them and they explained that the locals play this course as an 18, using the concrete tee pads for the front nine and the alternate markings on the sidewalks for the back nine...Duh...OK.
The holes are mostly recreational is length, ACE runs although there were a couple of chances to air it out.

Park was very busy with walkers, teens just hanging out by the # 2 basket, etc. I had to wait for folks walking/jogging by several times.

A mean looking couple were sitting on a table on # 1. Thought about asking them to move. Decided I had plenty of room to clear them. Ended up throwing over their heads and recieved some nasty glares in return...Sorry!

Just kinda threw into the teens on # 2 after yelling "Fore." Just followed the example of the group I was following.

This is actually kind of an enjoyable little throw. I'd make it a point to play this course at odd hours to avoid the crowds. Nice little course to bring the beginner but just enough challenge to entertain more experienced players. Probably always pretty comfortable here in sunny Bakersfield because of the lovely grassy park and shade trees.

Bakersfield has this nice range of courses stair stepping up in nice increments, from the very easy Pitch & Putt beginner course 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, Silver Creek being slightly harder, two intermediate courses and then two courses that will challenge anyone.
