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.

Older course in good shape fun to play

This course is not very long but it is fun to play, they do a good job to maintain it. It was a little dry and windy made it more challenging, if you can pick your spots you will be rewarded.

Worth the drive, put it on your list.

Dubsdread is Awesome

First off, pro shop & starter just great, very pleasant & professional. I got teamed up to play with 2some & another Hit Deals single, great guys & we all enjoyed our round, plus kept good pace. Course in great condition, tee to green, which are in fine shape. Fairways are fine, even sand bunkers are well-kept. GPS in carts help greatly, as I was only one to have played here before. This course is good length for us old guys, and par 70 also helps with scoring. It's hard to believe this nice course is in the middle of downtown, right off I4. It is tight, with trees, water & sand traps, but really fun to play. Many greens are plateu'd & some tricky pin positions, but be firm & committed to the shorter putts. Thanx to GN for the midday Hot Deals, I sure appreciated the discount. I'll be back, just to eradicate missed Birdie putt #12.

Best Value in Orlando so far

The course surpassed my expectations. One of the guys at the counter when I checked in said it was the best muni course in the country and he is not far from the truth. Staff is super friendly and lunch at the adjacent restaurant was great. The course was in great condition and greens were fast with plenty of water to keep it challenging. It's a fairly short course (around 6,000 yards) with tight fairways in some holes. Price is very reasonable. Will definitely make it one of my frequent plays.

Always a favorite...

When playing in the Orlando area, Dubsdread is always a favorite. A challenging muni, the staff is great and there is a really nice pro shop. You can always walk and that's a key for me. This was the third Orlando course I played this week and the greens were the best of the three.

Lovely mature course close to the CBD

We enjoyed the friendliest of greetings in the pro shop when we checked in.

It’s a compact and relatively short course but quite tricky. It’s surrounded by lovely houses so the setting is lovely.

The course was in excellent condition and represented excellent VFM.

We ate in the restaurant afterwards…it was really good with an interesting and varied menu.

Happy to see Dubsdread has improved

My husband & I haven't played Dubsdread in almost 3 years, having permanently moved to a Florida golf course community 2 1/2 years ago. We were very happy to see that the overall course has improved significantly since we last played it (when we felt it needed some work). The yardage is short but mostly because it's a par 70, with just two par fives. It's definitely a "target" course as it's generally narrow with trouble lurking. The greens are in great shape - challenging puts it mildly with the quick speed and tons of undulations on all greens. Staff couldn't have been more friendly, and we definitely plan on playing Dubsdread again for a little change from our home course.
