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.

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.

Incredible Value

Great, challenging golf course with fairly small greens. Some nice elevation changes and an extremely mature course, built in 1945. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be playing again.

Great course for seniors, golfers with a handy cap, people with a high handicap

Because of my arthritis handicap, I can not hit the ball as fair as I used to

By playing the gold tees, I reduced the yardage to 4,400 yards which allowed me to keep up with everyone else in my four some.

The course has a limited number of sand traps and water hazards which kept me in the game on miss hit shots

The course conditions were not perfect but they were OK considering what I paid to play

I will definitely play this course again based on the value for the money

FRIENDLIEST STAFF!

definitely go play Mount Dora, we were a bit sceptical at first as relatively cheap compared to some we had played (visiting from England)

On arrival at course, lovely welcome from pro shop crew, couldn’t have been more helpful. Course if well laid out, so lovely to not be surrounded by houses which seems to be the way courses are now all around the Davenport area. Enjoyed our game so much we went back again and were greeted by staff who recognised us from our previous visit.

Not for a low handicap player

This course was built in 1945,and therefore has very small greens. The fairways are tight but overall the course is on the shorter side. The clubhouse and restrooms look like they were built in 1945. This course will not challenge the better golfer. There are no ball washers or trash cans on the course. There is no water or cart service while you’re playing. It’s a ways from Orlando’s attractions so it’s probably not worth the trip. It’s a good course for seniors and shorter hitters.

Course is tight

Playing the course in February was in good shape. Fun & challenging. Narrow fairways and small greens made it fun. Definitely will play this course again before heading back to Ohio.

Not terrible, not great

Course conditions are fine for time of year. Greens have some dead spots. Fairways aren’t terrible or great. Staff is friendly, but no driving range available. Short, fairly open course layout, but every green is an inverted bowl making it challenging to hold. The swamp/sewage smell was pretty bad in certain spots. Would only play again for a lower price.
