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.

Refreshing

It was refreshing to be able to change a tee time. And have a friendly staff and it’s not a big name or private club. Very nice and considerate people all around

Great course for the money

Really friendly staff. I play there a lot and am always treated kindly. Pace of play is pretty good. They let twosomes go out in the afternoon, and sometimes wish they would make them foursomes to keep play moving. Greens are well maintained and fairways are good.

Great value

First time back here in about 12-13 years. Fairways were in pretty good shape. Greens were a bit bumpy but they look like they were recently aerated. Had a great time, range was in good shape and definitely won’t wait so long to return. Made a Saturday mid afternoon round in 3.75 hours ( too quick for how nice the weather was)!
