“A golf ball will always travel farthest when hit in the wrong direction.” – Henry Beard 
 
Golfers, rejoice! Bakersfield finally has the ultimate destination to perfect your swing, fine-tune your gear, and even play Pebble Beach without leaving town. Welcome to No Bogeys Golf, the indoor golf hub here in Bakersfield that’s bringing next-level technology, expert coaching, and a whole lot of fun to the local scene. 
 
No Bogeys Golf first made waves in Laguna Niguel back in 2005. No Bogeys’ founder, Kyle Cullum, approached his lifelong friend, Joe Leicht, who has more than 30 years’ experience in golf management, when he wanted to expand. Joe, along with Justin Funakura, one of your Seven Oaks neighbors, found the perfect spot here in Bakersfield, and that, as they say, is how No Bogeys Bakersfield got started. 
 
“There were no golf stores out here,” says Justin, the lead club fitter. “We saw an opportunity to bring No Bogeys out here and expand the marketplace. We wanted to help Kyle expand what he has been doing down south. The response from the community has been great.” 
 
At No Bogeys, expect to feel comfortable and warmly welcomed. It’s more than a store. Walk in, and you’re greeted by name. Nervous about being new? That disappears fast. “We had one guy who felt intimidated at first,” Justin recalls. “A few sessions later, he was totally at ease and couldn’t wait to come back. That’s what it’s all about.” 
 
A Golfer’s Playground 
Step inside, and you’ll see why players of all levels are raving: 
  • Three cutting-edge simulator bays – Tee it up on more than 1,500 world-famous courses in 70-degree comfort. Rain or shine, day or night, your tee time is waiting.
  • Custom club fitting – Powered by Foresight Falcon simulators (the same tour-level tech PGA pros trust), No Bogeys analyzes every detail of your swing to match you with the perfect equipment.
  • Club repair & regripping – From simple fixes to precision adjustments, they’ll keep your sticks in top form.
  • Private lessons – Two seasoned instructors, Shayne Montoya and Jennifer Sweet-Lopez, offer one-on-one coaching for anyone ready to drop strokes off their game.
 
Oh, and the best part? First-timers get a free 30-minute evaluation with an instructor. 
 
Custom Fitting: The Game-Changer 
Want to improve your golf game? Don’t swing with the wrong clubs. With custom fitting, it can be a game-changer for your golf game.  
 
Justin knows firsthand how the right fit transforms performance. “People are surprised at the difference,” he explains. Analyze your swing to see what custom fit will work best for you. Ball speed, spin rate, and launch angle are instantly tracked on the screen. Improve your clubs and you can improve your game. When players’ confidence goes up, so does their consistency.  
“There are so many different club shaft and club head combinations that we can do,” says Justin. Experience the difference for yourself.  
 
Forget the myth that fittings are just for elite golfers. High schoolers, weekend warriors, even beginners are stepping into the bays. They walk out with a new appreciation for what’s possible. 
 
Family, Fun, and a Fresh Take on Golf 
Golf at No Bogeys isn’t just about chasing lower scores. It’s about fostering a love for a popular sport that you can play with family, friends, and business colleagues. You would be surprised how much “business” is conducted on the golf course. Improve your game and hone your skills to genuinely enjoy golf more.  
 
Justin, who’s been playing since his grandfather introduced him to the game at 13, now plays with his wife and kids. “That’s the beauty of golf,” he comments. “It’s a sport you can enjoy your whole life. And it’s even better when the whole family gets involved.” 
 
Whether you’re looking to play a championship course with your buddies, sign your kids up for junior lessons, or sneak in a quick round after work, No Bogeys makes it easy. 
 
“Golf is meant to be fun,” points out Justin. “I try to emphasize that to everyone. It’s still a game, so don’t get too caught up in the improvement side of things.” He likes to add levity to golf, which is why No Bogeys posts funny videos to Instagram.
