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
Great beginner course
Headed to Baker and had a surprisingly good round, this course is great for beginners. Only thing to note is pace of play is inconsistent, with many groups re-teeing constantly. Course was in good condition thanks to the rain, you can tell they just cut the grass. The golf carts are nice comfortable, compared to carts I’ve gotten in the past. Overall a great experience I even got my first birdie.
Price
I golf every Easter there this time it was just over priced at 63 bucks
Good course for a quick 18 holes
I appreciate all the staff members there they are very helpful and friendly. I started playing golf with this course (great course for beginners), I come back often and always feel like home here
Great course!
David L. Baker is a great course, especially for those beginning to expand their golf experiences from a strictly par-3 executive course to par-4’s.

Hi Dick1382686,
Thank you for your feedback. Look forward to having you back out here soon!
Baker is a challenge for your short game
Leave your woods to home. Irons and hybrid to tune your game. Lots of challenges and trouble to avoid. Accuracy rewarded, miss hits find trouble. Sometimes slow play is tough but last few times out good pace.
It would be nice if more golfers observed courtesy etiquette, such as a very slow and errant shot making threesome being a hole and a half behind and not signal a constantly waiting twosome to play through.
Hi u000006818263,
We appreciate your feedback. We'll will continue to work hard to ensure course etiquette and pace of play are maintained.
They should call it Baker Dirt
Do they realize that if they plant seed grass will grow? I paid for 18 and left after 9 holes because of pace of play, half the course is literally dirt, the greens are a mess, and they had the tees up so far it was weird. So much duck droppings everywhere it was ridiculous. The sand trap was so hard your club bounced. Nothing ascetically pleasing about this dog track. STAY AWAY. Pay the extra and go next door to Mile Square.
