Mount Dora Golf Club

I'm brimming with joy having shot one over par 35 on the back nine with 8 consecutive pars. Front nine was ugly and 46 for perspective and I shot 95 earlier in the week.

I love MDGC because getting a tee time online one day ahead is always easy. When I've been paired up with others I've always found great company. I've played this course in January and February for the past 4 years.

Pace of play is going to vary. My perception is that many vacationers (I've played with Canadians more often than average) often are here having not played in awhile or who play infrequently. I've often played with people who chose the tee time for the Special rate. This place, in my opinion, is not favored by the very rich, the young or those seeking a certain status. The place looks "long in the tooth" because it's been around a long time.

But in the end, it's golf. The fairways are not lush like those found on similar priced courses near my home in Wisconsin. It's common to have to hit of pretty bare lies. I'm not a nudger and I play it where it lies. The traps are fair and well-maintained. Greens are average size and not too undulating for the most part but there are some where a short pitch will land back at your feet. Rarely are their any double-breaking putts.

Staff has always been friendly and the electric carts, though not equipped with GPS, work well.

The space between fairways is cut low so there are few opportunities to have to search for a lost ball unless you are near a course boundary. There is only one water hazard that being on #12 with a pond dominating the right edge of the green while course boundaries exist on the back and left.

Overall, this is my favorite course because it's most familiar, the staff is friendly and efficient, and the greens always seem to be in consistent condition.

Staff is great and got me off right on time. Course layout is fun with challenging greens. Great value for money. Compared to courses I’ve played in $75 it’s a steal.

I thought the course conditions were ok but not good. The fairways lack in grass, greens are nice though. The fairways are a little dangerous, they are so close to each other, it's not rare to have ball land close to you. Took us around 5 hours which is expected on a sunday afternoon but there are no marshals anywhere, saw a group of 7 playing the 18th and a group of 5 on another hole.

This course had decent greens, a bit thin fairways. poor bunkers and pretty good tee blocks. The layout was interesting. All in all, I'd return at 435 or less.

If you are looking to play a nice round of golf with good drinks and food give this course a shot. Super friendly staff. It was me and my friends first time at this course and the staff made us feel welcomed.

In general is a great course, ver funny to play. The starter, it's a very nice person. Dónde tees aren in need of work, but I. General the greens and fairway are in great shape to a winter play
