Dubsdread Golf Course is a popular choice for beginning and intermediate golfers. Designed in 1923, it is the oldest public course in the Orlando area. The course is tight with a short, traditional layout that features "postage stamp" style greens that are heavily bunkered. There are also elevated greens that are slightly sloped. Dubsdread Golf Course's fairways are narrow and there are also water hazards that come into play on some holes. One particularly difficult water hazard comes into play on the 12th hole, which is a par 3 that requires a tee shot to a green that is well protected by bunkers.

Always a favorite!

Although I was surprised to see some areas being aerated with out an alert on golf now most of those areas didn’t really come in play. (I would just call before hand next time to confirm course conditions) But it’s still a course that’s always in great conditions with a nice layout I love all their par 3s. My favorite part about this course is how friendly all of the staff always is, Herman in the pro shops is always a happy face to see who is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Out of the many courses in central Florida this is one of the only one we go to bc it is consistent in great conditions, pace of play and fun to play!

Hard but nice

My experience at this course was ok. I got a great deal on golfnow, so for the rate i paid it was good. At the regular rate probably not. Clubhouse was hard to find we parked on the other side of the parking lot, so had to walk a good distance to the entrance. The kid in the proshop did not look happy to be there, and he didnt seem like he wanted to help or talk at all. We couldnt find the bar to buy beer before the round so i went to the clubhouse and again the kid was short with me. The course was nice, the foursome 2 groups in front of us was super slow, took us almost 3 hours to finish 10 holes. So no marshal and no beverage cart out there was a damper on the round. The greens were fast and unpredictable. Very hard to read, didnt break much. The course layout was interesting but very hard. Thin fairways and small greens. If it hadnt been for the kid in the proshop and the slow group that dragged the round out for almost 5 hours, and no beverage cart i think it would have been a better experience. Overall not a bad course, just hard.

Great fun Course

Lot of fun, tight and challenging, slick green, ball role very true, but to add a putting challenge, look at the direction of the grain, it can get you😊

The Return

It had beed a while since playing here. The course layout is great and pave of play was spot on. There were a few areas of the course which could use a little work but overall it is in very good shape. It has its challenges, depending on what tee box you are using. The greens were a little fast but in very good shape. We have decided to add this course back into our weekly course consideration. We will come back. The staff were terrific! The Tap Room is also a great place to stop after your round. The food, drink, and personal top notch. Thank you.

If you hit long, skip this one

Honestly this course is a great value and is in fantastic condition, I only have two major gripes. 1: if you have an average driving distance of 280+ this will be the most boring course ever. I average around 290-305 carry and it was driver wedge on almost every hole. HOWEVER, if you are don’t have a lot of distance, the layout and course design is very fun! I might come back and remove my 3 wood and driver. 2: there is one hole that has a massive tree blocking your drive unless you have a bullet or a MASSIVE fade. I love weird shots but that one is just too gimmicky. I probably won’t be back but I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a great short course.
