Rating 70.0

Dubsdread Golf Course is a popular choice for beginning and intermediate golfers. Designed in 1923, it is the oldest public course in the Orlando area. The course is tight with a short, traditional layout that features "postage stamp" style greens that are heavily bunkered. There are also elevated greens that are slightly sloped. Dubsdread Golf Course's fairways are narrow and there are also water hazards that come into play on some holes. One particularly difficult water hazard comes into play on the 12th hole, which is a par 3 that requires a tee shot to a green that is well protected by bunkers.

Greens were pretty good

The greens were in good shape (better than LPGA or Venetian Bay, which I played in the last two weeks). I've been procrastinating teeing it up here because, because of its location, it seems like the kind of course where you'll get a lot of silliness and new golfers who don't really know golf etiquette. It was exactly that, but it still was a good time. The people I played with were pretty bad, and the group behind us were talking and laughing really loud and didn't care that we were teeing off on the first tee, but oh well. The best part of Dubsdread is the Tap Room. It's worth enduring the golf newbies just for the food after.

My sentimental course

I count this as my home course since I live 2 minutes away. I love it. For a public course it's extremely well taken care of and doesn't break the bank.

Good course tight fairways

Fun and challenging course with very tight fairways. If you aren’t great with shaping your driver shots stick to your 5w and 3w off the tees.

Always Top Notch Conditions

From the moment you step on the property you will notice a different level of service and quality you won’t be able to find anywhere else in Orlando for a public course. A warm greeting From Kevin, Herman or Brandon in the pro shop will set the tone for a fantastic Day, then you will always experience Top Tier course conditions on every hole. It’s always a great experience at Dubsdread! Cheers to the Greens Keeper here, they definitely know what they are doing unlike several other muni courses in Orlando.

Great course

I have never played this course, but I definitely will be back again, It's an old course in a very nice neighborhood, It's like the Wrigley Field of golf courses.

Well Maintained Course

Dubsdread is very well maintained. I found the tee boxes, fairways and greens to be in great condition. The course is narrower than most of the new courses but not so narrow that it was unfair. As the starter warned us, water comes into play on several holes, at times unexpectedly. Orlando should be proud of how this course is being maintained.
