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.

David Baker
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.
Perfect greens
Greens recently went through aeration and it’s perfect. Just little slow but perfect green. Finished 18 in like 3:30 hours
Great twilight course
My go-to course. Can leave the driver at home and play irons, or play your own tips and utilize the driver. Pace of play is decent, except many players seem to loop back and play multiple times. I frequently walk the course after 7 pm which is when the last carts go out. Usually I can get ~12 holes in from 7:30-10 pm which is fine by me, but there are is rarely a marshall. Often times we are met with random cart drivers (who should be long gone) on early holes -- especially holes 6-9.
For $15 twilight you can't really beat this place, and the course is lit which keeps me coming back weekly. The club house guys are all friendly and the driving range is nearly always full.

All greens are payable. They still have airiation dimples and fertilizer on them.
Greens under repair.
I don't mind paying Green fees, but they should have at least said something to us when we were checking in with the starter that the greens were under repair and that 4 out of 9 greens on the back 9 were closed and they moved the cups into the fairway so you were putting on the fairway. They had heavily spread fertilizer on all the other greens. It was like putting on sand. They should have given you the choice to play under those types of conditions or offer a discount.
