Mount Dora Golf Club

Pace is terrible. If you’re a golfer who on average shoots below par or a few above this is not the course. Greens are the size of pancakes although in good condition. Fairways covered in weeds. Tee boxes very spotty. The rough is just normal grass from a field and there isn’t a first or second cut. All the greens are on the top of Mount Everest and one slightly off line shot by 3-5 yards will send you 15 yards from the fringe. Watch out for the seasoned folks who won’t let you play through and hit the ball 25 yards with their driver. Staff is great though other than the way a new group shows up and they just shove them on a random hole which could be the one you’re currently teeing off from. Good luck

This course has come a long way. They have put a lot of time and money into this course. Its a par 70 with lots of trees just keep it in the fairway and you’ll be fine. The staff and management are very friendly the price to play is reasonable and veterans get a discount. There’s a new practice green out front which will be opening soon. Best of luck.

The whole club experience was 5 Star. Great place for a guy like me. Friendly atmosphere

Course is great for getting swings in. Best deal in the area. Greens are in good condition given lack of rain. Easy to navigate, short but challenging. Carts are nice and have USB ports. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get a quality round of golf in.

I took my neighbor to this course, she had said that she had never played it. She thought it was a very fun course . The greens were recently sanded but were fine and in a week or so , will put true and fast. I would give it 4.5 stars based on value and the greens.

Tee boxes are terrible. Fairways are terrible. Greens haven’t come back from aeration a few weeks back. Course seems to be deteriorating. Definitely not worth the money. Will not play this one again any time soon.

Course is in good condition, greens are a little bumpy but otherwise in solid shape. There is no water hazards, the rough is short, and its fairly wide open so its easy to find your ball.

When I went there was a shotgun start tournament that kicked off in the middle of my front nine so it went from nobody on course to slow play, so would advise asking if any tournaments are going on that day before you go.

My only real issue is the cup placements were often very tight to the fringe. Staff seem nice and friendly, overall its a good value course.

Greens were being aerated....not their fault, but greens were like playing plinko. Staff is awesome, course is well laid out.

Morning
The Greens were still Sandy and hopefully that will be remedied soon.

This is an Update on NO Show Fees being charged on Golf Now. Mount Dora is refunding the Fees in this instance. While I do not agree they should have billed me in the first place ( Or should any other Course) they deemed it necessary as a fairly new policy. Be mindful of this if you book through Golf Now.
I wish to thank them for their response and explanation.

Getting past the fact that the greens were so sandy and slow they obviously now feel empowered to collect fees from Golf Now due to the fact that one of our reserved spots was ill and consequently 2 of our foursome did not make our 7am tee time.
This has occasionally happened before but first time the policy has ever been enforced
I intend to update this post depending on outcome of trying to get fees reversed

What a gem. My first time here. The greens were aerated but could tell they are in great shape. Completed the round in 3 hours and had a great time!!

It would have been nice to have had a heads up regarding aeration. The greens were horrible and mostly sand. Other courses give a notification on the GN app. Not worth the money for this one. Twilight should be cheaper. When the course is hydrated and green, it’s a decent course. Definitely not right now.

Love this coarse...we play a different coarse every Sunday...we plan on playing this more! Walked and still played 18 in 3 hours...yes 3 hours and walked! Total distance walked...7.1 miles!
