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 practice for my son and myself

I have a 14 year old who has only been playing for 6 months. This is great practice for both of us. It is not too costly to play. A good deal.

Economicaly and accasable well worth

I was quite pleased that we were able to play where you didn't have to pay an arm and leg to enjoy ourselves. It wasn't that crowded and easy on the legs of a 72 yr. young hacker.

Great transformation and improvement

Wow. What a change. New management has really made good efforts to improve the entire property. Fairways and most ponds much improved and in good condition. Very nice contour mowing of fairways and landing areas, and nice striping of fairways, too. Added yardage markers on par four holes. Various remodeling also planned.

Teed off at noon on Friday and pace of play soon became very slow. Nearly a 4 hour round.

Midweek Gem

Great shape, fast, tough to read undulating greens. Fairways have plenty of grass (no dry spots) and the bunkers are in great shape. Golf staff in pro shop is great.

Teach Pace of Play

This is a course for beginners, that is wonderful! Pace of play is a lesson that beginners need to learn along with the swing. A marshall would be helpful

Nice quick round of good golf

This is a fairly straight forward course. Numerous par 3s and the rest are par 4s. The holes are protected by slopey greens and sand traps. Pace of play was wonderful and the staff was ultra friendly. This is a good place to hone your game in all respects.

This course offers a great afternoon getaway or golf fix

The course is challenging enough to use most your clubs. The customer service is great and of the many courses I have played in Southern Cal. I would say the one of the best customer service experiences. The only negative is the pace is a little slow.

Good for Beginners

Decided to play a Saturday afternoon round here, should've known better. I was expected a long round already since I knew this course has a lot of beginners on it, but this was the worst I have seen in years. We were a twosome behind a foursome, and the foursome decided it was a driving range and hit 2 - 3 balls each from the tee box while giving each other lessons. We got to see each tee shot since by the time we finished the hole they were barely starting to tee off. There is no marshal on the course, nor did I really expect one. I took my friend who is just starting and was telling him, "you see what they are doing, don't do that." I get you're there to have fun, but have some courtesy to others that are playing.

Fun for the money

This fun little executive course that offers just enough hazards and yardage to make it interesting. Pace was good and we rarely waited despite being being a 5 some. The greens were a train wreck however and for some reason they were watering in the middle of the day. The food was a disappointment but the drinks were cold. All in all a fun day if you don't take your game to seriously.
