Rating Snapshot
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.

DL Baker
9/29 greens were pretty beat up in afternoon. no one repairs ball marks and uses rakes in traps. for late summer in pretty good condition.
Didn’t Play
Had to cancel literally hours before tee time for medical reasons, waiting on refund
Don’t understand good reviews - better, longer, cheaper courses nearby
Course is in very bad shape. Some tee boxes you cannot find a flat spot. Almost all you cannot find a grassy spot. If you miss the green, plan to hit off raw dirt. For $50 with cart, there are better options nearby. Also, extremely short course which some may like but be ready use driver just 5ish times in a round of 18. Also tight, probably saw (no joke) 20 balls on our holes that had been hit from others and left. Unfortunately this course is in really tough shape and was totally packed.

Always enjoy playing Baker, it's close to my house, affordable and the staff is very freindly.
Great course for the money
Sure nice staff. They are always helpful and upbeat. Course is perfect for a quick 18.
Tony Course Big Price
Play here all the time. Perfect place to bring people who don’t golf. The pace of play is slow as rocks, the people playing have no etiquette, but the greens are pretty good I will say. Fairways and tee boxes look identical. Course is very small. For the price compared to other locations it isn’t worth it. You can play a course twice Bakers size for a few dollars more, heck some courses are way nicer, longer, and cheaper!
Good enough
First time playing here. Teed of right on time at 6:45. There is a little paper sign staked on the ground near the 1st Tee. Pace a little slow on the front. Pace much better after the turn. As with most greens nowadays, players don't fix pitch marks. Fairways patchy. Seems pricey for a par 62 short course.
DL Baker
overall course in good shape, but the fairways have way too many brown areas or no grass at all. Drought is really
killing the fairways.
first time back in awhile
slow play but otherwise good time. course a little over watered but might have been too early in the morning. overall good day
