Rating 70.0

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.

Another good round!

A classic course, with very good staff, goes to create a classy experience. Good conditions (even the bunkers) and very good greens means a round that really reflects your ability. I’d love to play this more often, and it will be on my next vacation itinerary. Thanks!

Very Enjoyable Round

We enjoyed our day at Dubsdread from our our great experience with Herman at the pro shop to our round of golf and a great meal afterward. The course was in good condition and the greens ran true and were quick but fair.

A Really Great Old Course

This course is celebrating it's 100th anniversary. It had an upgrading in 2018. The tees, fairways and greens are all in great shape for the time of year. The greens are difficult due to the subtle undulations...many of which you can't see, even though you think you can. All 4 of us "just missed" many of our second putts. Pace was great and bar cart was around 3 or 4 times.

Unforeseen trouble

If this is first time playing, you can get into trouble. Not knowing some of the distances I got into some trouble with unforeseen water hazards, bunkers unexpectedly coming into play and drive direction and length resulting in blocked out second shots. Some holes were tight driving. Looking forward to playing again now that I have some knowledge. Greens were in pretty decent shape. Fairways were thin in places but for February probably normal. Did enjoy though and will play again.

Great Staff but other options available

Staff was super friendly and great. The greens roll pure and are in great shape and a little firm. Rough and fairways are decent but there are other options around for the same price with better conditions tee to green.

Course will be in great shape soon

Dubsdread is the pride and joy of Orlando

This course is pristine as always, love playing here, the only downfall is a bit of over booking, we had to wait to play all day on a Saturday. Dubsdread is near and dear to my heart and the Taproom is a spectacular restaurant

Dubsdread 2/08/2024

Pace of play was very good, we (3some) waited a few times but finished in 3+45. Some say course is short, but not really. Only 2 Par 5, but 3 or 4 Par 4's at 400 yards. The Blue tees are 5800 but would be 6000 with 4 Par 5's. Conditions were good for a Florida public course and definitely for $50 greens fees + a warmup bucket included (about 8-10 balls). Course is in better condition than last time I played (2 yrs ago). I will play again.

Enjoyable Round

We had a very enjoyable round at Dubsdred. Great layout - The course is tight with lots of water hazards but a pleasure to play. The pace of play was excellent - finished 3.5 hours. The staff is friendly, courteous and helpful, especially starter Steve. The greens are in great shape, fast and predictable. The fairways are well maintained in excellent shape. The tee boxes are nice and flat and well maintained. There is GPS in each cart to help your course management. Overall, we found this course to be of top quality and very enjoyable. It offer excellent value for money on GN hot deal. We will certainly play it again!

Course for value

Everything great with this course for value. The pace of play was only thing I could recommend to improve on this old course. Course is short but very challenging with narrow fairways and fast greens
