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.

The Hills in Central Florida

This course features elevations and smaller than average greens for a Florida course. These features is way in which it challenges the player and defends itself.

Great blast from the past golf coarse

Loved this coarse. Has a ton of history and nostalgia. Beautiful layout with lots of trees and scenery. Reminds you of golf coarses of the past that makes you think about your next shot.

Under repair for the greens

The course conditions were not that good, particularly since the greens had been sanded, but not raked in. in.

Old school

Fun course, pin placements were a little ridiculous on the edges on extreme angles the greens are mounded to roll off anyway so putting the placement on the edges is crazy. Maybe they had a tournament that day that's why they did it.

Lucky Day, Weatherwise.

Most fortunate that although starting off in a light rain, it had abated by the third hole and turned into quite a nice day. Course conditions were good overall. Enjoyable day on the whole.

Not worth playing - stay away at any price!

This place was awful - dirt tee boxes, very poor fairways and rough, terrible greens and below average bunkers. I will never be back!

Always start with the good -Friendly staff.

Now the rest - I get the course is not long and the greens are its defense, but pin placement was totally ridiculous. When 2 single digit handicappers can't 2 put, it is really out of hand. If I wanted to play Shinnecock in 2018 or Olympic Club in 1998 I would have tried to qualify for these US Opens. I can only imagine how frustrated +18 golfers felt spending hard earned money here.

What a shame that single digit handicappers can't adapt to a great little course and give it a review like this. Great little course w challenging greens. A must play if you're in the area.
