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.

Good walk today, but boy was it ever windy!! Course is in good shape overall, but lots of tree branches and palm fronds down on the ground today!

Still a good executive course to walk!

Great value

For the price, it’s a great course. Also, it’s the only course I know of that has lights and you can play at night. So much fun and such a fast round. Definitely recommend

Seniors in the Fog

The combination of fog and a senior group tournament really slowed the pace of play. The starter was nice enough to squeeze us in on the back nine. However, by the time we reached the first tee, the back-up was four groups deep. So, we called it a day but the pro shop guy graciously gave us a credit for future use. Great group of folks working the pro shop but very poor scheduling.

Great Value

Great value for the price. Tee boxes and fairways were in decent shape. The greens were in great shape. For the price you can’t go wrong and the pace of play for their morning tee times was phenomenal.
