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.

First time playing this course
Was my first time playing this course and as a beginner, it's a great beginner course
Decent course
David L Baker is a great course! Lots of fun! Although, my GF and I did have an issue with some people who were high as a kite behind us and our cart died on the 15th hole.
Getting worse…
I’ve played here many times over the years, and today was my second consecutive experience that was not worth the price of admission. While not entirely the fault of the staffs, the pace of play here is atrocious. I’m no pro, but was always taught to “play bad fast” and apparently no one at DLB follows that rule. Each of the last two times I’ve played here, I have watched someone shank a tee shot over the fence near the street and instead of taking the L and leaving the ball, they wait by the fence until someone walks by so that they can flag them down to get their ball. All while a line of carts is forming. I’ve never seen a larger lack of self awareness than at this course. I’ve played here dozens of times over the last ten years and I don’t plan to be back anytime soon, unfortunately.

Good course!!
I played this course for the first time last Thursday. It’s a really great course! A lot of fun, challenging, beautifully crafted! The only downside is a little slow pace of play but also a little confusing course layout!
Good value. Friendly, courteous staff.
Slow pace of play, but good value. Friendly courteous staff.

Pace of play was good. But the green were average at best due to so many divots. Myself and my partner fixed over 25 divots on the green. It is ridiculous that no one fix there own divots. It make putting alot tougher.
