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.

DLB comparison
Very much like I prefer my women, cheap and easy!!
Good place to play
I choose the late tee times due to high early rates for an executive course. In all game was good. Course was good for executive. My only gripe was the group in front were slow. Teaching someone who should absolutely not hit the ball. Take him to the range till he can make decent contact and keep a pace. Other than that, not bad. It's my go to when all the big course tee times are gone.
Jam packed
They were already backed up when we got there at 6:45. Our tee time was 7:20 and we didn’t tee of till 7:45. We had to wot through 2 groups at almost every hole. There were constantly people on our fairway from other holes. Right next to soccer and baseball fields so people yelling and screaming during our swings. Not a great experience. Group behind us said it isn’t always like that but the group ahead of us said it’s been that way all summer.
It's Ok
The course itself is ok. Fairways decent not that soft but for the most part green. My beef is people please do not give lessons to your kids on the course. Had to pass 2 in front that were giving tips and lessons. Notbthe place. Range it. Also AM hours are a bit steep 51 bucks for 3k yards. So I golf late here. Won't stop coming here. Just later. My son and I enjoyed it good game good time.
Thunder and showers
October 4th was wet. Played the next day with sunshine and remnants of thick moisture...soft tee boxes, but junglely rough.
Great course
Plays fast on a weekday (3 1/2 hours), not so much on a weekend. Tee boxes could use some TLC, but overall condition of the course is great. Will definitely play again soon.
Not the greatest
The course fairways were fair and the greens had lots of divots. Pace of play was slow. We had tee times at 6:15, but there were several players claiming they had standing tee times at 5:45 and 6am. No starting tee manager to manage players teeing off to keep the pace moving.
Worst golf course in OC
Worst conditions I've seen here in a long time. Extremely slow pace of play. Our tee time was 7:22 and we teed of around 7:45. How can you be that backed up that early?
Every single tee box was horrendous. Greens were very thick in some areas and poorly maintained.
Wait until you get to the 14th hole where the lake looks and smells like a toilet. Yes. TP in the lake too!
Waaaaaaayy over priced for this venue. Oh and our round was 5 hrs for a par 62. Yikes.
