Mount Dora Golf Club

Even with short yardage, still a tough layout. Greens in great shape. Watch the grain for the speed of greens

When they say you get what you pay for, this course is what they mean. Sure, it’s not very expensive but there’s definitely a reason and that reason is mostly because of the fairways. Most fairways were bare or had very little good grass. There were time I would’ve rather have been in the rough so that I wasn’t hitting it off of mud.

On the other hand, the greens were its saving grace. Each green rolled really nicely and had no bare spot issues. Right now they are pretty quick and the turtle shell styling was a difficult challenge.

I also liked the park styling of the course. It was nice to get away from playing in a community. The fairways were pretty tight but hitting it off line won’t kill your game. Just be prepared to alert anyone in the next fairway of your errand shot.

Booked on GolfNow and arrived 15 minutes prior to tee time. Lady in clubhouse took over 10 minutes to check in as she was preparing hot dogs for someone else. Get checked in and head to first tee. Starter comes up and says behind the next group. I inquire on tee time of the group as my 2some was still a couple minutes prior to tee time. She then states that the prior group was same tee time but she didn’t pair my two with them because I didn’t want to be paired. I stated I didn’t say that. I booked a time that was empty 4 spot on golf now for only 2. Therefore the other 2 that booked into same spot is conceding g they wanted same time and pairing. I attribute this to having my female significant other in my 2. She plays well and has good etiquette. Starter wanted to put us behind a group of 4 young men who from my observations couldn’t strike the ball very well. The pace was group ok group all day. My female companion playing from the ladies tees would not have changed the pace of play on this day. We waited patiently on every hole. The starter after conceding the proper tee time where we played as a 2some inquired in an ugly manner “is this your first time playing here?” Other than the the check in delay and the insulting starter it was a comfortable day on course. This is a short course with some fun elevation change that is harder to find in Florida. Course conditions were solid. There is some risk of errant balls due to course layout. So stay alert where you are located and others are located for possible incoming.

We enjoyed the course. Fun layout, short but challenging with small undulating greens.

Conditions were good, greens rolled true but have some subtle breaks.

Restaurant is closed, hot dogs and pre-made sandwiches are available.

Beverages available and beverage cart on weekends.

Great little course with hills, small fast greens, imaginative layout and an old school vibe. Best bang for the buck! Loved it, played it twice...with my hickories😀

I had 2 players in front of me that thought that they were gods gift to golf !

They would hit 2 or 3 balls each off of every tee box just to prove how far that they could hit it ( which was not very far )

SO WAY WERE THEY WAITING UNTIL THE GROUP IN FRONT OF THEM WERE ON THE GREEN BEFORE THEY TEED OFF ?

This was really annoying because it caused me to wait all the time

As a senior with arthritis issues, I was cold and stiff all day and was barely able to finish

Other than this issue, it was another good day at Mount Dora and great value for the money

Had a great time with a decent round. Do not let the short yardage fool you, still a tough course, tight fairways and small greens makes it tough! No beverage cart that I seen but very friendly and pleasant staff none the less. Most of the course was in decent shape at least playable. We will be back.

Plated at 1130 got around in three hours. It was great not to be held up on every shot. The last few rounds have been 4.30 and horrible. Not the course itself usnt great. Greens were just about ok. The rest a bit rough. The clubhouse didnt seem to serve anything from the sixties.

Fairways were bumpy so it was like driving on the moon.

But what a breath of fresh air to play without delay....if only all courses could be like this....or even 3.45.....

I play almost all of my golf in the winter time as a single thru Golf Now and Golf Pass

Unfortunately this round was ruined by getting paired up with 2 drinkers that drank their way thru the front 9 and by the time we made the turn at 10 they were totally blasted

I quit after the 11th hole when 1 of the guys was face down in the garbage can throwing up.

I will have a drink with anybody but I don't drink and golf at the same time. The golf course is for playing the game and the 19th hole is for crying about it

Course is okay. It is somewhat short. Most greens were slow, small, elevated and protected by sand.

You should score well if your iron shots and putting are working.

Great staff, good condition, wide open fairways.
