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.

OK golf course
I would say this course is like a MUNI course that you would find in many areas of the country. The fairways are a little light on fluffy grass but OK for the average golfer. The greens are in fairly good shape. The one thing about the course is that many of the greens are crowned. In some cases if you don't hit the green in the right spot your ball will roll off the green, somethings at least 10 - 20 yard. This may frustrate some golfers but everyone is playing on the same course Price is good and I would play it again if I am in town.
Guests beware!
Firstly, staff was great and apologetic. Course conditions fair and layout quite nice. Greens are elevated and small, therefore challenging, in good condition, newly sanded and “hairy” and very slow.
Pace of play is absolutely awful - the course obviously has many senior members that feel they “own”’the course and there was no attempt to let people play through - we ended up skipping 3 holes (14,15 and18) as we had waited very long on each hole on the back nine. Pace for first 9 was 2 hours but 2.00 for the second 6 we played. I was in a twosome, 2 foursomes ahead of me playing scramble golf, all senior citizens playing extremely slow and no ranger on the course.
Awesome
What a great hidden golf course! First time I’ve played, and I cannot wait to go back. Course was in great shape. Staff was amazing. Even the other golfers were nice! Lol.

Trouble on the greens
First - I love this course - it’s a decent track with some wonderful holes. BUT most of the greens have become unplayable. They are so crowned up that no one’s ball will stay on the green for putting. So, unless you can chip in from the fairway- the ball is not going in the hole! We finally have started “ just add two strokes after you get on or to the green” instead of putting. I’ve played this course for years and it’s gotten worse!
Hidden Gem
Staff is always great and the course continues to get in better condition. If you want a non traditional FL course with some elevation and some challenges this is your spot! Great value!
Laid Back
No frills golf course. Staff were awesome. Very laid back atmosphere. Course conditions were great. Greens rolled very good. Will be back.
Great course, great value. Very slow
The course is in great shape and it is a fun track to play. But when I play here I don’t ever plan on it being a quick or fast round. A lot of waiting to hit your next shot
Mount Dora Golf
The Staff was very friendly! The course is an "old school course" (small greens, tight fairways) that we found very challenging due to small, raised and tilted greens.
Thank you for a great day!
