About
The David L. Baker Golf Course is an affordable public course located in Fountain Valley. It has an approachable layout that is versatile enough to appeal to a range of different skill levels. No two holes are alike but all of the greens and fairways share the same excellent conditions. Water has a prominent presence on this executive golf course with lakes and ponds running alongside many of the holes. The sloped greens are lightning fast and the fairways are tightly manicured. Beside the greens lurk treacherous sand traps that are just waiting to swallow errant shots. Although there are some tricky holes, the layout is gentle enough for beginners. It is an enjoyable and affordable round that offers excellent short game practice, no matter what skill level.

Expensive, crowded and slow
They have no starter, which contributes to the horrible pace of play. We teed off 20 minutes late (7:45am tee time). There was a group of 5 two groups in front of us.
The driving range is always filled even in the morning so it’s hard to find a spot to warm up before a round. A lot of old folks use the range as their social hour(s).
David Baker trip
Very nice day to golf and pace of play was good. Course was in pretty good shape. Greens were a little tough
Hi u000003560434, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with a review of your experience. I am pleased to hear that our team made your experience pleasant and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Marshall is useless
Course allows fivesomes, sharing of clubs, on-course amateur lessons, beginners hitting multiple tee shots all over the course, At one point, there were four groups waiting to tee off on hole 6. We asked for marshall intervention, and they did nothing. Normally less than three hours, our round took almost five hours.
We love this course, but please hire a more effective marshall.
Hi u000003492924, We are sorry that you are disappointed but appreciate your feedback. We are committed to providing you with a great experience and hope you give us another chance in the future.
Short Course
Every Hole was shorter than I thought.
I should have looked up more carefully.
Hi kWdwCcOrRcZi56jDa7qo, We are sorry that you are disappointed but appreciate your feedback. We are committed to providing you with a great experience and hope you give us another chance in the future.
Pace of play
Pace of play is not good, starter allows 6 players not good at completing four players. if you let a twosome out u will see them join a 3 or player game.
greens are not kept well very inconsistent.
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about your experience. We're committed to improving our pace of play and course conditions, and your insights will help us address these issues. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Pace of play a bit slow
They seem to be allowing more 5-somes lately. A couple of them slowed pace way down last weekend.
Thanks for reviewing our facility! We’re happy to know you’ve had a great experience and look forward to seeing you again soon.
We appreciate your rating and are here to ensure a better experience for all our visitors. Your insights are valuable to us as we work on improvements.
Cours layout
The green conditions were good. Fairways are nice and wide but have some dry spots. The pace of play was good. Recommend during hot weather due to close proximity to the ocean.
Good day out
This executive course is a good day out, particularly for those of us a little older (50+). The course is not very well maintained and it's not exactly a bargain in terms of green fees, particularly when you consider for the same price you can get in a full 6500 yards+ course somewhere else. The greens are slow and there's quite a few dirt patches, particularly around the greens But it's good for those of us not wanting to spend an entire day playing golf and scratches that itch.
This is important feedback, and we appreciate it. We work hard to provide our customers with the best support. We hope you will give us another opportunity to demonstrate this.
