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.

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
830 tee time party of 3
830am tee time , started a little early . putting greens are ok. breakfast is something to pass up .
Lower end course
Very minimal amenities. No cart for snacks making rounds. No starter, so most people just tee off. It’s mainly all par 3s. Course condition is decent, but driving range looks like a dirt lot. Food at clubhouse is not quick, and is more sit down than grab and go.
Good practice day! But, weird, lol.
Reserved a 1030 tee time as a single for a Saturday morning. I get there & the girl at the pro shop tells me I'm going out alone. Unfortunately I was behind a group of 8 (2 groups of 4) to start & some of the guys had just started playing golf. I played multiple balls on the first hole then caught up to the group on tee box 2. They invited me to play through. So I played with them on 2 & eventually got through both groups & by the time I got to 5 I was on my own with no group in sight in front of me. I played 4 balls on each hole on 5, 6, & 7 & then caught up with a 5some at 8. The groups in front & behind me were so slow that I played hole 8 twice with 4 balls each time & for the rest of the day I would legit play 4 balls on every hole then putt 10-20 balls on each green for practice & I didn't even see the group behind me again until about hole 15. Counting the best balls on each hole I shot +2 which is good for my ego. Staff was rad. Marshall was cool with me just plunking around on each hole. All in all I actually had a nice day. Course was patchy & needs a bit better drainage in spots but overall good Course. I'll be back for a twilight session soon. Some drivable 4 par greens which is cool. I had fun. Greens were better than fairways. I feel like pace would be fine on any other day. Just got placed in a weird spot between groups.
It’s baker
Good local course. Looks a little rough. Greens have seen better days. Still going to be back.
Dependable
This is my most played course for a reason. Always in good shape with a very relaxed atmosphere.
