They should call it Baker Dirt

Do they realize that if they plant seed grass will grow? I paid for 18 and left after 9 holes because of pace of play, half the course is literally dirt, the greens are a mess, and they had the tees up so far it was weird. So much duck droppings everywhere it was ridiculous. The sand trap was so hard your club bounced. Nothing ascetically pleasing about this dog track. STAY AWAY. Pay the extra and go next door to Mile Square.

solid front 9/not so much on the back

Friendly and helpful staff! After the turn you go under the freeway and hang out with the homeless waiting for the group in front of you to tee off. It felt unsafe. Fairways are very rough to say the least. Lots of hard dirt to navigate through. Greens are in good shape. Hole 17 is way to confusing. It dog legs right and you have no idea where the green is. Very strange. Also, it's very tight so balls are flying everywhere. Bring a helmet.

Take this course off golfnow

The worst course I have ever played in my life. So dry you hit off dirt 99% of the time. It is so badly maintained that weeds are growing in the middle of every bunker. Lakes are dried up. Standing water around sprinkler heads with mosquitos hanging around. Greens are a train wreck. The lady running the place was out front smoking a cig when she greeted me. I was starving so I had to eat one of their old sandwiches. Gopher holes everywhere. The range balls are at least 10 years old. The most unenjoyable round I have ever played. I wanted to quit after 2 holes but my buddy made me play 9. Not sure why golfnow allows this dog track on the site. Makes me think twice about using golfnow.

Mountain course

Slow play on a Sunday but it was a lot of fun. Lost quite a few ProV1's out there. Don't play expensive balls. Lots of tough OB. Beautiful views. Wind plays a factor. Watch for Rattler snakes! Can't wait to play it again.
