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.

Mount Dora Golf Course

Built in the mid 1940's, this is a great example of Public Golf Courses built in that era. While only around 5700 yards from the back tees, it plays to a much higher degree of difficult. Most holes are tree lined, most greens are well trapped, the course has some severe elevation changes particularly on par 5 holes, and whoever deigned the greens stole their ideas from Donald Ross or Pete Dye (there's nothing like seeing a 70 yard shot golf ball roll back 20 or 30 yards let alone run thru the green). So first time golfers, be prepared.

Ok for the Price

We got a Hot Deal on Tee Off for this course. The course hooked us up with another couple. We had a very pleasant and enjoyable time. The pace of play was slow it took us about 4 1/2 hours to play. It was our 1st time playing this course. It was a little confusing going from some of the greens to the next tee. The course itself was in ok condition much the same as many others we have played this year in FL. The greens were very fast. We would play this course again if it was a Hot Deal. It was worth the money we spent.

The Hills in Central Florida

This course features elevations and smaller than average greens for a Florida course. These features is way in which it challenges the player and defends itself.

Great blast from the past golf coarse

Loved this coarse. Has a ton of history and nostalgia. Beautiful layout with lots of trees and scenery. Reminds you of golf coarses of the past that makes you think about your next shot.

Under repair for the greens

The course conditions were not that good, particularly since the greens had been sanded, but not raked in. in.
