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
Going downhill
Poor tee boxes.
Divots (iron type) on the greens.
No tee time order of play control. (Guys who jumped in front of us had a tee time that was 40 min after us, but was instructed to just "go ahead" from pro shop. Later found out the group behind us was an hour early and allowed to tee off as well)
Bunkers were lakes.
Soupy mud all over the fairways.
2 random carts on the course for to battery failures.
I won't be coming back again.
Very nice clean course
First time at David Baker. Well maintained clean course. Will play again.

Great course.
I was enjoying playing golf this course.
But when I reservation was golf carts included.
When I asked starter he said no golf carts.
Because fields are wet.
Good thing I brought golf pull cart otherwise I can’t play.. you should say cart not included or bring pull cart.
Thank you.

Good Layout
Fun day playing golf, but this is the second time that I have played this course the Blue Tee boxes have been moved up to between the yellow and white tee boxes. Pace of play was very good finishing in 3HR. and 6 Min.
To slow
The pace was way too slow fairways need some maintenance but not bad
Needs work and over priced
$53 for a course with no par 5’s . Greens were a complete mess. All tee boxes had not grass . Traps in most cases weee just concrete and unplayable. Very disappointed full price with these poor conditions.
Conditions seem to be deteriorated
There were pockets of time in the past when the conditions here weren't bad for a budget golf course. Today there was pretty much no grass in any tee boxes. Fairways were extremely patchy. And greens were in average conditions at best.
Wouldn't mind coming back with beginners to mess around with, but definitely wouldn't come here for a fun round of golf.
Budget Golf
Nice course for practice of your short game,
Public grass very short and hard
Poor condition for the most part. Tee boxes terrible. Greens ok. Standing water and muddy in several locations. Worst mats on the the range I’ve ever seen. Range is all dirt. The kind of tax money they have getting around here this course should be in much better condition. Won’t play again.
