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.

The course is fun and great for the money but they should tell you the greens are plugged and they had 4 temporary greens with no yardage markings!

Nice 18-hole Course for Beginners

This is a good course for beginners. It is a smattering of par 3 and par 4 holes, which allows you to use many different types of clubs off the tee. There are a lot of holes that will be positive and gratifying, instead of frustrating. I had a blast playing these 18-holes, and it went pretty quick.

Great local short course

We always enjoy this course - it is a little dark at night and could use a few more lights. Daytime is always better
