Forced to close down because of COVID-19, the Bakersfield, Calif. club will take over Sundale’s restaurant, lounge and grill. “It’s a perfect fit because we’re the only private club in Bakersfield that didn’t have a golf course, so now we can proudly say we have that and can offer all sorts of other amenities to our members,” said Petroleum Club President Dave Plivelich.
The Petroleum Club of Bakersfield (Calif.), which was established in 1952 by prominent members of the petroleum industry, had to close down when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, KGET reported. Now, the club announced it is partnering with and moving to the Sundale Country Club.
Petroleum Club President Dave Plivelich told KGET this will allow members to enjoy golf as well as outdoor dining—something not available at the Petroleum Club before.
“It’s a perfect fit because we’re the only private club in Bakersfield that didn’t have a golf course, so now we can proudly say we have that and can offer all sorts of other amenities to our members,” Plivelich said.
The Petroleum Club will take over the restaurant, lounge and grill and will open for indoor dining as soon as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, KGET reported.
“It was kind of a no-brainer for me,” Sundale Country Club owner Dr. Girish Patel said. “It brings two established institutions together. Petroleum Club is very popular, and I see this course as a jewel in the middle of town.”
