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.

Always a good time

We played during the week which is unusual for us. The front nine was slow but not too bad. The back nine we had to ourselves. The course is well maintained and the greens are smooth and fast. We try to make it out to MDGC at least once every two months, it never disappoints.

Golf as it used to be

Had a fantastic day at Mount Dora GC. Real friendly welcome when checking in and paired with two local guys who were great company. This is an old style course built in the 1940's so not far from greens to tees and no houses alongside fairways - just trees!! Course is in really good condition with excellent fairways and smooth fast greens. Loved the elevation changes especially hole 12 which is a real beauty. Great welcome in the bar afterwards too - looking forward to a return visit and would certainly recommend to anyone.

Old Mount Dora

The holes are close together and you see a lot of players with their carts all around. Only one water hazard and all the holes are pretty straight. The course was in fair to average condition and the pace was off a bit with lots of players. Typical for a Sunday. Overall it was a pleasant outing for 18 holes of golf.

The addition of more directional signing is a good suggestion, and it will be discussed at the upcoming Board Meeting. Thank you!

Old School course

Short, established tract near downtown. Some nice elevation changes you don’t get at many courses in the area. Really small greens as you find with many older courses. Tee to green in pretty good shape. Good value. FYI, there’s no range to hit warm up balls.
