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.

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!
tue play
played on tue and had a good day. slow pace and rather hot but course was in good shape and greens quick.
Great efficient par 3 course
Enjoyed playing at this Par 3 course which is challenging for your Short game and Putting! Thanks .

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
Go to mile square
Staff is no help. Place smells horrible. Even for 19 bucks it ain’t worth it. Called online 2 weeks ago on a Sunday and booked a tee time. Now all of a sudden they don’t book tee times though the phone on Saturday or Sunday. That’s one way to lose business

Course is always fun & a quick 18 holes. Only issue I have is the horrible raw sewage smell from some of the holes on the West side of course. That needs to be corrected.
Hi 2VdMbWSVnjNhHWYZehoq, thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoy the course but apologize for the smells from our lakes. We’re actively working on this issue and hoping to have it resolved in the coming days. Your experience matters to us, and we’re committed to improving.
This course needs work done.
All is good except for the terrible smell. The water ponds are disgustingly smelly and need to be cleaned
Hi CWilson194, thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed your visit, but we’re sorry to hear about the smell. We’re actively working on improving the water ponds and appreciate your input as we strive to enhance the experience for everyone.
What's that smell?
Good value for the money, but there are some holes where it's difficult to breath....might be the pond scum, not sure, but just an indescribable stench
Gohbahwoo, we appreciate your feedback! We're glad you found value, but we're sorry to hear about the issues with air quality and odor. We’re actively working on this issue and hoping to have it resolved in the coming days. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!
Mediocre facilities
Value for the money is the only reason to golf here when all others are booked. Decent food/bev operation. Greens are fine and as most public SOCAL courses the conditions are suffering from drought. No standard distance markers (on ground) on tee box or fairway stakes. Driving range lacks rubber tees on mats unless BYO and nothing said by proshop. Decent layout with some ok way finding signage but can be confusing to find holes.
Hi there u468144020, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate your comments about the value for money and food/beverage options. We will take your suggestions about the course conditions and lack of distance markers into consideration for future improvements. We hope to see you back soon!
Thanks for your feedback, Rson03. We’re sorry we did not live up to expectations. If you’d like to share any details, please send us a message.
Fun little course
This is a fun little course. Not too challenging but a great workout for your short game. The pace was too slow due to a foursome that didn’t drive the ball very far. Overall it was a very nice golf course that I will return to visit again soon.
Poor Conditions throughout.
First let me start with range, they should be embarrassed by the hitting mats, they are in horrible condition and filthy not to mention the range is one big dirt pit no grass or turf to be found.
As far as the course, the greens are in bad condition and they didn’t appear recently aerated. The “sand” bunkers were so packed in it was more like clay bunkers! Could be a fun practice course if the grounds keepers took care of it.
Hi 1973rcs, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your honest review and will pass along your concerns to our maintenance team. We strive to provide a pleasant experience for all our guests and will work diligently to address the issues you mentioned.
