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.

Perfect Day for Golf

David L. Baker is a fun course and is wide open. I played on a Friday after work with two friends and we were able to knock out 18 holes in 4 hours. Great course to play if you are looking to relax and have a good time.

Perfect for all level of the game

I have played this course a couple times this month since getting back into golf. The layout is player friendly that allows you to sharpen any part of your game. Just yesterday I brought my wife whom has never swung a golf club in her life. She loved the new challenge & I believe the course helped out as well. Being that it has a little of everything from the beach to the desert. A must play for beginners & the experienced.

David Baker

Not the first time I played this course. I once played here when I was 15, as a part of some company tournement of my Dads. I was playing on the High School team back then, and I had a wicked driver. I out drove the field that day in a Longest ball contest. The course is fun for beginners and intermediate players alike. I just wish there was a par 5 or two, still fun though. I will be back again!!

Gerring better

Looks like they are trying. Fresh sand in the bunkers and greens recently punched. Hopefully, grass on the fairways is next. My cart had bad brakes 4 weeks in a row. Not a $39 course. New owner raised the rates and instituted a "Seniors" club and now if I can't get a tee time online I play elsewhere. Still a fun place to play for us "older" folks.

Fun afternoon. Greens are in good shape. Fairways OK. Except for the five-some in front who took too long on the tees and on the greens, my wife and I played and enjoyed ourselves. They should send a ranger around once in awhile to tell people to keep pace. These guys were 3 to 4 holes behind.

June 27th Review

My buddy and I were scheduled at 1:30 and the mgt. let the youth group club in front of us an (each group had 4-5 kids). We played only 5 holes.....each hold was about 30 minutes. Every one was backed up at least 6 deep. Don't ever play behind the youth group. Cancel and get your $$ back. Fortunately we were able to get our money back on the holes we didn't play.

David L Baker is a fun short course

David O Baker is a great place for the beginner to novice golfers conditions are okay. Staff is very friendly courteous mostly helpful. Play is sometimes a little on the slow side but that is to be expected with novice golfers. It is one of my favorite courses to play. Just challenging enough to keep the semi experienced golfers coming back any great place for more experienced to work on the short game.

Good short game course

Played Saturday late morning - Completed front nine in 1-1/2 hours but 2-3/4 hours for the back. Not bad for the weekend - but too much waiting on the back. Water near about 10 holes but only seriously errant shots are in danger. Fairways are wide open and there are no fairway bunkers. Greens are well bunkered. The sand is not always the best quality. The elevation is level with trees separating fairways.
This is a fun little course.

Disappointing

I am not too familiar with Orange County so I selected this course based on reviews... It was a flat course and felt like you were playing the same hole 9 times. Would not recommend this for anything other than a practice course.... Not a place to meet clients. Although I was disappointed in the course itself, the staff was very friendly and truly made the overall experience better.
