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.

Great course
We play here once a week. It’s close to our home, and of course conditions are impeccable. The only thing wrong is I’ve yet to get a hole-in-one.
Great course conditions
This course is in pristine condition. The greens and fairways are always clear of debris from tree branches etc, and also are in healthy condition. We play here every weekend and enjoy playing challenging holes.
Slow Pace
The biggest problem here are the other golfers that do not understand golf etiquette. Twice the pair behind us hit onto the green as we were finishing our putts. Not caring that there was a group of 3 and another pair waiting at the next tee box. First 6 holes - no problem, but once it backed up, no way to play without feeling rushed. Be VERY careful when you book your tee time, although I have heard there is really NO time that it is not overcrowded. It will have to be a GREAT deal for me to play this course again.
Zero course management
Midday, midweek but still incredibly slow. Management puts out consecutive twosomes and does not care at all about pace of play.
Will not be back.
This course has great features
I like to play at this course because it is closed to home.
Solid course.
Average flat land layout course. A few challenging holes over/around water. Wish we would’ve known they had just aerified the greens. Other than that, would definitely be back.
Solid Course
Basic flat land course. Tree lines. One thing I would’ve appreciated to know was that they just aerified the greens. Other than that, solid course. Will be back.
This course is somewhat challenging.
I like this course because it is near home, Just long enough for my level. It is somewhat challenging. Very nice and friendly staffs.
Great short course
Great short course. Great for beginners or players that don't golf too often. Challenging enough for a good golfer too. Good value for the money.
Nice course!
Cute little low-stress course. Just plays slow (alotta amateurs & beginners).
The yardage of the course is long enough for us.
Very nice green, and fairly challenging. It is also convenience, since it is close to our home.
Course Under Repair
Every Tee Box except one was under repair including several areas in the fairways. It was not disclosed and I wish I could have cancelled this round for a refund. It’s didficult to give a fair assessment when the entire course is under repair. It’s a no go back me.
