David L. Baker Memorial Golf
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.

Golfer Reviews
Friday afternoon unplayable
Painfully slow. No one can play here on Friday afternoons except the snails-pace groups who take over the course every Friday — might as well close the course to everyone but them. Management knows exactly who I’m taking about. Marshall does nothing.
Great corse
Just started playing a few months ago great intro learning corse with some long ones to advanced the learning while having some short stuff to build the confidence.
1st Time Playing
Course was good overall. Even though a smaller course, the layout was quite challenging. A bit crowded in the sense that the tee's overlapped a bit too much. Lots of random balls flying over your head. So a bit of a hazard.
Customer service
The staff is amazing….Brooke was on top of it all.
Great attitude and service
Gentleman at the pro shop very helpful
Will be back!
Need more green stuff
I have played the course several times over a few years. This time, I noticed that there were many more large brown and/or bare spots on the fairway areas, making it difficult to get a decent fairway shot. The ground was hard and it was not possible to get under the ball. The greens were in very good shape and the cups were well set with no "crowning". The tee boxes were mostly grassy but hard to penetrate with a tee.
If a par 62 course played in 6 hours is what you want. This is heaven.
We honestly considered forfeiting the round when we were at an hour and 30 standing on the 5th tee waiting to tee off.

Very Disappointing
New to the area, thought I’d give this course a try.
Course is in horrible condition, we were hit into twice with no “fore” warning.
I will never play this course again.

Please don’t allow 5-somes
Got stuck behind another 5-some, who then broke themselves up into two groups, a 3 and a 2. But they only had ONE tee time, so it slowed down play even further. And they were again allowed to create their own tee boxes, as far back as they could go. Mark, the marshall, did nothing. Second time this happened.

Terrible
Friday around noon. Par 62 golf course, but course condition itself terrible for green fee. Under 50bucks seems to be high.
Play pace was also unbearable.
There are too many beginners.
