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.

Nice little course
I’ve been meaning to try this course out for years and finally made it happen. We had a 12:52 tee time and it was backed up a little when we got to the first tee. There was a twosome getting ready to tee off at 1:00. We were also a twosome so I asked what time their tee time was and they said 12:45, so the were about 15 minutes behind. They were nice enough to let us join them which saved us at least 25 minutes. The tee boxes left a lot to be desired, but we made the best of it. The green had several I repaired divots, but they were in decent shape other than that. There were several holes that brought water into play which made it fun and more challenging. All in all it was a great experience and we will definitely come back.
As for the pace of play, it’s a par 62 and we finished in about 4 hours, so it’s average at best. I did talk to a golfer after we were walking to our car that said his party quit after 13 holes because of the people in front of them. I told them it can happen at any golf course and it’s basically the luck of the draw.
Get a Marshall, please
We had a tee time before 8:30 on a Saturday. We got there on time, but they were already backed up, 4 groups deep. For a course of this size on a weekend we we expected to play about a 3-4 hour round. Well, it ended up being 5+ hours. Super frustrating. Help of a marshall would have been good. Probably won't be back.
Not worth the money!
Nice people but for 50.00 I could have played a real course. It's an executive course at best. The pictures on the website DO NOT show the real deal.
Challenging course, even though it is an executive course
Enjoyed the many challenges of the course, even though there is no par 5.
Too crowded, over booked
I’ve played at this course several times and have enjoyed playing there. Today was crazy crowded, only able to play the back 9, paid for 18, only able to play 9. Not a good day
Nice short course
This is a nice short game course, I’ve been playing this course over the years, nice prices and good layout
