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.

Tough Rough

Great day but to be honest miss the fairway and you can spend some time trying to locate your ball. The rough was penal. The purist would say “well don’t miss the fairway”. The realist would say most golfers expect to find their ball just off the fairway. Be aware

The rough is tough.

It's not a long course, but it is narrow, with small greens and thick rough. Pace of play was decent and Chris took good care of us at the bar afterwards.

We'll be back!

An old course with history

This was an old golf course with lots of history. We enjoyed playing it but there has not been any upgrades to the course in many years. The clubhouse is very old as well and again nothing has been down to it in years.

Poor condition

This was my first time playing this course. Staff was very nice but course is in poor condition. Greens are in rough shape. Needs lots of work. Carts are ancient and very slow.

Long grass outside fairways are ball eaters!

I don't know if the course management decided to leave rough grass as tall as they to introduce some kind of challenge to compensate for short 70 par course, but it only frustrates you if your ball jumps just even one yard to the left or right of the fairway, you will NOT find it unless you are standing right on the ball looking down on it! Even the approaches, front of bunkers, even the ring around the greens are so tall grass, just good luck finding it. What this does is that the pace of play goes out the window and waiting game starts at each hole while waiting guys in front of you looking for their balls (at least one guy loses a ball in the rough at every hole and the whole foursome looks for that ball) or you are looking for your ball and people behind you are waiting on you. I lost about 6 balls during the game, but I found like 8 balls while looking for my own! I am not there to hunt for balls! Anyway, unless I read a review here that starts saying tall grass no more, I will NOT go back to Mount Dora Golf Club anytime soon.
