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.

Rude starter

Booked on GolfNow and arrived 15 minutes prior to tee time. Lady in clubhouse took over 10 minutes to check in as she was preparing hot dogs for someone else. Get checked in and head to first tee. Starter comes up and says behind the next group. I inquire on tee time of the group as my 2some was still a couple minutes prior to tee time. She then states that the prior group was same tee time but she didn’t pair my two with them because I didn’t want to be paired. I stated I didn’t say that. I booked a time that was empty 4 spot on golf now for only 2. Therefore the other 2 that booked into same spot is conceding g they wanted same time and pairing. I attribute this to having my female significant other in my 2. She plays well and has good etiquette. Starter wanted to put us behind a group of 4 young men who from my observations couldn’t strike the ball very well. The pace was group ok group all day. My female companion playing from the ladies tees would not have changed the pace of play on this day. We waited patiently on every hole. The starter after conceding the proper tee time where we played as a 2some inquired in an ugly manner “is this your first time playing here?” Other than the the check in delay and the insulting starter it was a comfortable day on course. This is a short course with some fun elevation change that is harder to find in Florida. Course conditions were solid. There is some risk of errant balls due to course layout. So stay alert where you are located and others are located for possible incoming.

Fun course to play

We enjoyed the course. Fun layout, short but challenging with small undulating greens.

Conditions were good, greens rolled true but have some subtle breaks.

Restaurant is closed, hot dogs and pre-made sandwiches are available.

Beverages available and beverage cart on weekends.

Slow play on a cold day

I had 2 players in front of me that thought that they were gods gift to golf !

They would hit 2 or 3 balls each off of every tee box just to prove how far that they could hit it ( which was not very far )

SO WAY WERE THEY WAITING UNTIL THE GROUP IN FRONT OF THEM WERE ON THE GREEN BEFORE THEY TEED OFF ?

This was really annoying because it caused me to wait all the time

As a senior with arthritis issues, I was cold and stiff all day and was barely able to finish

Other than this issue, it was another good day at Mount Dora and great value for the money

A nice round!

Had a great time with a decent round. Do not let the short yardage fool you, still a tough course, tight fairways and small greens makes it tough! No beverage cart that I seen but very friendly and pleasant staff none the less. Most of the course was in decent shape at least playable. We will be back.

5 star for speed of play

Plated at 1130 got around in three hours. It was great not to be held up on every shot. The last few rounds have been 4.30 and horrible. Not the course itself usnt great. Greens were just about ok. The rest a bit rough. The clubhouse didnt seem to serve anything from the sixties.

Fairways were bumpy so it was like driving on the moon.

But what a breath of fresh air to play without delay....if only all courses could be like this....or even 3.45.....

A good day at the golf course ruined by 2 drunks

I play almost all of my golf in the winter time as a single thru Golf Now and Golf Pass

Unfortunately this round was ruined by getting paired up with 2 drinkers that drank their way thru the front 9 and by the time we made the turn at 10 they were totally blasted

I quit after the 11th hole when 1 of the guys was face down in the garbage can throwing up.

I will have a drink with anybody but I don't drink and golf at the same time. The golf course is for playing the game and the 19th hole is for crying about it

Course is okay. It is somewhat short. Most greens were slow, small, elevated and protected by sand.

You should score well if your iron shots and putting are working.

A great day at an affordable golf couirse

This course is not a high end golf course.

However it is a very playable, well maintained golf course for a reasonable price

Although it is not very long, it will challenge you with it's elevation changes to some of the greens and the breaks in many of your putts

A very playable course for everyone with enough challenge to keep you interested

Old Course Good For SeniorsIts in good condition given that it’s winter.

The course was built in 1946 . The clubhouse is old and it could use a tune up. The layout is ok for seniors but not for low handicaps. The greens are small but true.
