Mount Dora Golf Club is a historic, member-owned golf club open to the public, located about 35 miles northwest of downtown Orlando. The course began to form in 1945, shortly after World War II when returning G.I.'s petitioned the city for land to build a golf course.

A second nine was added in 1959 and the clubhouse was build in the 1960s. Set on just 85 acres, the course bills itself as "The longest 5,700 yards in Florida" thanks to an abundance of water and up and downhill lies that will demand precision over power.

Great value

Greens were pretty good, the fairways have suffered from the dry conditions but overall very playable. They have new electric carts this year and they are very nice. The staff was very friendly.

Fun

Fun historical course, short but small greens. Just l around 5000 from the tips, but if you’re not accurate off the tee, you can have a bit longer of a day. Greens were slow, but rolled true and price and pace were on point for a Friday afternoon.

The course has greens that run off on sides and front, sort of Donald Ross style . Greens putt true and receive a good shot well. Aim for center of greens.

Better than expected

To our surprise this was an enjoyable round for my wife and I. We were a twosome were lucky enough to have a single behind us join us on the 4th hole. As it was quite bsuy this helped with the pace of play. Greens were very playable, looked slow but were not. Fairways could use more grass as most non private courses in Fl could also. Tee boxes, playable. We had a great time and will return for another round soon.

Slow Roll

Course is coming along nicely. Greens have come in well. Fairways still need some work but as a whole were good. Only issue was the slow play. We had to wait on very many holes. A rather long course for senior players.

Rolling hills, postage stamp greens and beautiful trees-

Rolling hills, postage stamp greens and beautiful trees- what is not to like? Old school length with plenty of challenges. Keep it in the fairway and don't be a hero,and you will really enjoy this old school setup.

Can't wait to play again! Decent upkeep for a municipal, yes with tired amenities, but I am here to play golf!

Whats has happened

First the fairways need to be over-seeded you had to roll you ball to find some form of weed are maybe grass to hit off. The tee boxes are beat up need to move there and repair . Now the bathrooms were closed one out of order and the other locked that ok for some younger golfers but our group in there 70,s not so good when i called the pro shop the lady said i thought they were fixed . I asked why she didn't make us aware just another poor response . Some greens staring to have some issue .

Good layout

Fairly nice course that needs some work but still not bad. As with everywhere people need to learn golf etiquette and let single faster players play through. Other than that it really wasn’t terrible. Just needs some improvement to be a very nice course.
