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.

Golfer Reviews
Good for beginners
I usually play this course with my five year old son. The course is in good shape for the amount of play it sees and the green complexes are adequate. Tee boxes always seem chewed up when I have played and kind of sandy. I play to an 8 and this course is pretty simple but is good to work on iron play. My little boy loves this course as I'm sure many beginners do as well. I gave three stars because it is not great and it is not bad, it is just average. I love the lights and my only complaint would be all the drunks who play but I'm just being picky. I understand the drunks are just out to have a good time with the guys but they are slow and oblivious.
Good walking course
A good place to practice your short games, tee times are good on weekdays and could just walk in as a single or a pair of players.
Value plus fun
Great course for the money. Very friendly people in the shop. Play there a couple times a month. Some slow play from time to time. They have decent lights for night play just hit it straight, the fairways soak up the majority of light.
great value through golf now
Course was in decent shape...good value... wasn't planning on a backed up tee box at 6:45 am....due to closing back nine for a shotgun start later....otherwise enjoyed the round...
Nice fast course
Quick play. Lots of par 3 and par 4 holes. Challenging greens.

Great course to play with the guys on a weekday after work. Great price for 18 holes and a cart. Only negative was they had a few lights that weren't working on a few holes that made it tough to see. Other then that it's a great course for the money.
Short bit fun course
The greens have always been horribly maintained here. If they were in good condition this course would be an excellent practice facility. The bunkers also had no sand so you can't really practice the bunker game here. Fairways are in nice shape and tee boxes were ok. Been going here for years and had my only hole in one at this course, so I will definitely be back. I just wish the greens rolled better. To fuzzy for my taste....i like 'em trimmed. ;-)
Busy in weekend
Too much people in weekends. And It is a short course feels like tight between different tee. You can enjoy the surrounding with ducks.
Good deal
Not the regular price, but I got this executive course for $10.00 2 days in a row. Great course to work on your irons. Greens running slow, but generally in good condition.
gooood
small, but really good nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Great Open Space
this time around. it was great, there was no one really in front of us and behind us. it was spread out pretty well. coming off a really bad time , to come in pretty well . conditions were just right, it was a great day for golf. almost fully did scratch golf. one of those days. 13 birdy attempts with 4 made. not bad. =) shot a 72
great place to squeeze in a quickie
nice course, pace of play was good for a week day, and didn't lose to many balls.
this a pretty good beginner course
This course is a pretty good beginner course. It has plenty of holes that you can use your driver and it also has some short par 3's
The greens are not taken care enough : to much divots & no marshals to control the pace.
Once you have a Tee-Off time : expect to play at that time: but the starter shows up late & it affects the the whole day. If the starter can not make it on time : why have the tee-off time set for? Where is the etiquette in the whole game?
Fast Pace
When you are on the go but wants to play an 18 holes instead of 9 holes this is a great place to come
4 stars overall
Had a nice time playing in that course, the only drawback is trying to book a tee time with golfnow for a single player. always had to call golfnow customer service to get me in after notifying the course about the availability of the the tee time. this happens all the time, and also the golf course has bad foul smell where they have small lakes around the course. i don't mind playing there all the time with hot deals rates.
