Mount Dora Golf Club

My wife and I came to the area at the end of February and Mt Dora Golf Club was very amenable to a short term (2 month) seasonal membership (Thank You GM Will B.!) We have played a number of times and have thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The course offers a nice mix of easier warn up holes followed by a couple of challenging par 5's that include elevation changes both going down and up! The greens as one would expect of a public course built about 70 years ago are small and protected with false fronts and bunkers. Landing greens in regulation takes a combination of skill and a little bit of luck. The staff do a wonderful job keeping things well mown and ready for play. The course is well kept, clean and litter free. The staff have all been great! Pro shop folks friendly and helpful (gotta love Dorothy!) Starters are all knowledgeable and helpful and are good ambassadors for the course. Cart folks are thoughtful (bringing carts to early morning arrivers) and do a great job. Greens and fairway staff are great, non obtrusive and very friendly to talk to... Hoping I've not left anyone out! We are first year "snowbirds" and feel very grateful to have found Mount Dora Golf Club!

Love this course we drive from Orlando and Winter Haven .

I enjoyed my day. Everything was solid. My only complaint is the layout. Feels a bit tight to me. The fairways run into each other a bit. Often, other players were hitting off my fairway & we were sometimes playing off there’s.

I prefer not to worry too much about being hit from the side or possibly hitting someone else.

Overall - it’s a solid course.

First time folding here.

Staff friendly and helpful.

Course was fun to play.

Travelled an hour to play this course.

Previous reviews were helpful and the course was as expected . Real old Florida feel and friendly staff.

Greens were in great shape. You have to be straight as shouts of fore were fairly common as fairways close to each other on some holes.

All in all a nice experience and a course my wife and I would certainly revisit especially for the cocktail deals!

Course was in decent condition, especially since there had been frost and freeze this winter. You can see work is going into tee boxes, new grass.

Slow pace of play for a popular Saturday. But - course was challenging & well-maintained. A fair mix of harder holes & easier ones.

Only criticism - a lot of overlap of fairways. People hitting on your fairway & you hitting on theirs.

Tee boxes and greens in decent shape - fairways a little bare in spots. Greens were small and most were domed

- where balls tend to run off the edges.

Biggest issue was the number of parallel holes, and how close they are to each other. Several times we had people playing in our fairway from parallel holes (we found ourselves doing the same a few times), and holes were close enough together that sometimes it was difficult to see where to go for the next tee (tees close together as well). While certainly not a totally unpleasant experience, it was the least likeable of any of the courses we have played inn the area.

This is a very playable track from any tee box,. Course is a little beat up in the fairways, tee boxes and rough. Greens are nice but pretty small. Pace of play was slow the two times we played it. Will probably not be back even though the staff and folks are very welcoming.

All in all my guys and I had a good time, well maybe not so much, my friend Dave he always fines something wrong with all things. The tee boxes and greens look good and cared for. The greens are dome shaped and somewhat difficult to hit and stay on approach shots. I would play it again.
