Admiral Baker Golf Course

Hey fellow golfers! Have you had the chance to swing by the Admiral Baker Golf Course right here in San Diego? This gem, named after the esteemed Admiral Wilder D. Baker, has been serving up double the fun since the 1950s with its two distinct 18-hole courses. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting, this spot offers a slice of golfing paradise with its lush, mature trees and rolling hills set along the tranquil San Diego River.

Now, let’s talk specifics. If you find yourself on the North Course, brace yourself for the 6th hole—a tricky par-5 with a wicked dogleg right. My advice? Keep your tee shot left to avoid those pesky trees and set yourself up for a sweet second shot. And don’t get me started on the South Course’s 14th hole—a stunning par-3 that demands you fly over water to a well-guarded green. Pro tip: grab an extra club to make sure you clear that water hazard.

With its rich history, including once being a playground only for Navy personnel, Admiral Baker isn’t just about golf. It’s about tradition, challenges, and stories shared post-round in the clubhouse. Whether you’re here to test your skills or just enjoy the scenery, this course is a must-play. So grab your clubs, and I’ll see you on the green!
