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.

Playing with my daughter

Course was in good condition except for the bunkers. It would be nice if they would have a little bit more sand.

a very good course for the price

It's amazing that there was such a great course for the price just 30 minutes by car from Ervine. The course condition was good and the cart was good. The staff is kind, too. However, it was a little delayed, but I think this will vary depending on the situation from time to time. I recommend it.

All DONE HERE!!!

These are some of the worst greens around to put on . The course has balls flying in and out of your fairway constantly. This is hazardous golf with no upside . Plus the worst range anywhere. I am all done . What Willowick is to a full size course David L Baker is to an executive course. If you know, then you know . Good luck

Nice walk

I enjoyed this course as a place to work on my game. It isn't very long but offers the opportunity to sharpen approach shots and wedge game.

I got out early and had a good round with a great pace of play.

Highly recommend it as a place to fine tune areas you feel you need to improve upon.

Not worth the money

All tees were moved up that day I played, II guess, for field management, so a few holes were less than 75 yard long. It is already a short course with 10 par three holes and with shortened tee locations, it was no fun at all. I can understand it is necessary to do field management, but for us paying $69 for this short course was not worth at all.
