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.

Another great dau

It was a beautiful Tuesday morning tee time. Course front 9 was in pretty good shape a cpl of greens were rough with tractor tire marks. Back 9 was nice with a few rough areas on the fairway sides and greens. Other than that I'll will play there again nice course for the money

You Need to Lower Your Prices

My wife and I have played here since 2011. Always a good deal on tee times and fun to play. Your prices on this course is sooooo ridiculous!! How do you come up with these prices?? And the course is not the best of conditions! Seriously?? Same bunk course but way over priced!! Pathetic.,. And the greens are a joke!

It's not a "Par 3 course". It's an executive golf course. You need to know the difference.

Wet golf carts

The time before this last visit, we went to get into our golf cart and the whole thing was soaking wet, with water puddled up on the seats, so we asked to change carts. This past visit, the cart looked dry and my son put his phone into one of the compartments, after a few holes, my son picked up his phone and it was full of water, after a few more holes we had to leave to get my son’s phone fixed. $88 dollars and a new phone screen later, we got it fixed. Really enjoy playing at this course, except for this issue
