Mount Dora Golf Club
About
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.

Still fighting with those unattainable greens - the ones that sent back into the fairway at about a 60 degree angle !
My ball - which had landed on the Green - maybe 5” from the edge - rolled back 60 feet to the oak tree on #16! Frustrating!!!
Hoping rain and some grass seed will help to remedy the situation. I like this course but it keeps getting worse!
Great little course.
Course well maintained, somewhat challenging for a green golfer, and service in pro shop outstanding
Hidden Gem
I’ve recently gotten back into golf and have been playing a lot of local courses in Central Florida and the Mount Dora Golf Club course is one of my favorite finds. While the holes are relatively straight and wide open, there are multiple changes in elevation, which is unusual for the metro Orlando area. The greens are small and were in great shape, but be careful of the roll off in several of them. The fairways were good and the tee boxes were underwhelming. I will definitely be bringing friends back here to play.
Great Course
We enjoyed this course the first time we went 2 years ago, and we enjoyed it this year as well. Very nice employees, and the course is very well taken care of
Firsatr time---NICE Course
We enjoyed playing Mount Dora. It is an older course with a "Municipal" feel to it. Conditions were good with tee boxes and greens in very good condition, while the greens were perfect.
Staff was very friendly and helpful.
The course is short, but very challenging. The greens are overly deceptive leading to a few extra puts.
We will go back. Great value (Price) compared to many of the other area courses at this time of year.
Friendly starters
Lady starters were very friendly and energetic. Recommend a ranger ensure pace of play.
A Gem of a Course
I played two golf courses like this when I was a teenager. They followed the lay of the land without a lot of earth moved and they had a natural feel rather than that of a design imposed on the property. Conditions were modest. Unfortunately, the courses I remember no longer exist, so it was a pleasure to play this course. Mt. Dora has a variety of good holes with significant elevation changes. Greens are small, consistent with an older course. It is a different style than typical FL courses and worth playing, if you love the game.
I usually enjoy playing this course but today, the group in front was so slow and so annoying that we actually did not finish the course.
I have never seen 3 men play so slowly. Did not hit their drives until the group ahead of them was at the green - and their drives were maybe 150 yards - at best!!!
I’m hoping this will not happen again. Sometimes they need to send out a Ranger.
Still I’ll go back because the staff is wonderful!
