Great shape

The clubhouse, restaurant and pro shop are outstanding. The course was in good shape. Greens excellent, rolled a bit slow but true. Some bare spots on the fairways but in this day and age and the fact it's a pseudo military course, it's more of a quibble than an issue. Great experience today.

Horrible

They hold a tournament with Rugby players. Many of them were non playing, driving in buggies across the golf course not knowing how dangerous it was. We were waiting on every hole. Three groups on the tee. We stopped after 11 holes. The course is in very poor conditions. At least we got a refund. Never again.

Sad Conditions

Overall good time but the course was a mess. Holes, huge patches of dirt/mud and dead grass. Greens looked they had a concert on them. Pretty sad conditions. Played in 4 1/2 hours.

Fairways are junk

If it wasn’t for the maintained greens, I’d give this place 1 star. So many fairways are trashed and it doesn’t seem that any effort is going in to repair the turf.

Great value

Fairways a little spotty in some places, but the tee boxes & greens are in phenomenal shape. Will definitely play again.

Admiral Baker South

It was busy when we teed off as a twosome, but the pace of play was steady and we didn't have to wait much and finished in a little over 4 hours. Very nice amenities and a friendly staff.

4 hours well spent

Course is in great shape. Good value for the money. Stay out of the tree line & the course is very get-able.

Monday golf

Slow play particularly on front nine. Most fairways and greens in pretty good condition. A couple fairways were patches of barren(no grass) & dirt, etc. We started at 11:00 am and sunny. Various parts of fairways were wet and others were muddy. Almost all the greens were in good condition.

Fairway? We don't need no stinking fairways .

Bulldozed, leveled and reseed on the south course and it would be a decent track. Greens were so so, recently punched and fertilized, running slow. Tee boxes a little torn up in places. Cart ran out of juice on 11, shop sent replacement out. Nice, new carts with GPS. I'd play it again in the spring, see if grass grows over the winter.

Greens punched

Greens were punched and fairways were not good in places. Overall it is an interesting course, small greens and par fours are are short or long. Worth playing again.

Decent Course

Decent course, like the layout. Staff is friendly. I was surprised how many bare spots there are in the fairways. Price is fair, if you get it on a deal, or if military. Not bad.

Nice middle of the road course

I've been playing at Admiral Baker for years. Its always a pretty good value, but play can be very slow at times. The north course is a bit longer, but more wide open. The south course has a nice layout and you will be penalized for missing the fairways in teh rough. Greens were in very good shape today. Great clubhouse afterwards and a good menu!

South course huge improvement

We played the south course for the first time this summer and was very impressed with the health of the entire course. Previously the fairways and greens were dry and unpleasant to play on. But now the course is in great shape and beautiful. Good job Admiral Baker.
