Mount Dora Golf Club

This course has increased their price to almost double what it was two years ago, without improvement. And it could be improved a lot. I rated it as challenging for one primary reason virtually every green is small and domed, it is as if they put a hole on top of a basketball. Landing a ball on the green and have it stay there is extremely difficult. Particularly the par threes. The fifth fairway is ridiculously slanted if you land a ball anywhere on the fairway it will end up in the left rough or worse. The right edge of the 18th fairway is lined with private property with homes being reachable by an errant drive to the right. I presume someone in management at the course erected a sign, (T Box) indicating any person hitting a ball into anyone's home would be responsible for any damage that might be caused. I am no lawyer, nor am I a judge, but it is my strong belief this is not true. For a player to be responsible for damages, there would have to be proof of intent. Nearly impossible to do. Both the golf course and the homeowner have the opportunity and wherewithal to prevent damages to homes adjacent to the fairway The player does not. Any number of factors can contribute to errant ball flight causing a ball to veer off the intended flight path of the player to strike anything and everything a property owner might place on his property. A Player has no control over what is on the property or where it is placed and therefore no liability. A homeowner would also have to prove the ball claimed to have caused the damage belonged to the accused. Nearly impossible to do without the cooperation of the accused. I believe the premise to be groundless.

The course is in good shape and I enjoy playing here, especially during the week when they pace of play is quite good. Very good value for the price.

Nice little course to play for a quick round. Tired of the maintenance crew turning on the sprinklers right as we reach a hole. Makes everything a mess. They even turned the sprinklers right on when our cart was at the tee box soaking our clubs, towels, and golf cart seat. When they have so few playing the course you would think they would wait till after guests have played through to turn on sprinklers. This seems to reoccur week after week.

I didn't hit a bad shot the first three holes yet lost six balls. The Fringe around the greens are way too high and thick. Kept watching my ball bounce. Just short ofthe green on The Fringe and couldn't find my ball unless I kicked it up. One green. I dropped my wedge on The Fringe to go putt and couldn't find my my wedge on the way back it was lost in the thick grass. Not fun

Mt Dora keeps getting better and better. You can see the work the staff has put in to bringing this classic track back to life. It has become my favorite regular spot.

Mount Dora Golf Association is a vintage course with different elevation changes. The greens can be a challenge at times. Today the course was in great shape; however, the rough is very plush Bermuda grass that conceals the ball, making it difficult to find. This plush Bermuda provides a shot challenge especially when hitting into the grain. For the most part this course is fairly open and forgiving, although there are a handful of holes that provide the opportunity to add some penalty strokes to the round. Due to lack of space, there is not an on-site driving range, but they do have a couple nice putting greens to warm-up on. This wonderful course opened in 1946 and continues to stand the test of time.

With rough this thick and greens this hard and sloped it’s basically an impossible place to score at. Has to have been weeks since the grass was cut. Also had a school team peppering balls at is on 2 holes with no fore calls which is about when our round started to go downhill. I see the charm, but in the current conditions… no thanks.

Had a great time with my friend and met a very nice veteran who played with us.

The course was in pretty good condition. The layout is a good old municipal style course a little short and the holes are on top of each other but not to close that I felt in danger. I’ve only played here once but I was done with 18 holes in a little over 2 hours by myself. I would definitely go back

Mt Dora was way better than I heard it was. The fairways were nice. Greens ran true. The only downside is the rough is cut a little long and it’s easy to lose balls. Lower the blades a 1/2” and it will be great!

Course is in pretty decent shape, that offers good value for the price. I escape to this course when I can get a hot deal.
