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.

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.

Nice course just not very challenging.

Enjoyed my round here. Course was in good shape for the most part. A few tee boxes had some rough patches but reat of course was in great shape. Staff was nice. Course was a little basic. Not many areas to get in trouble. Pretty straightforward easy beginner course.

Fast greens and lots of water hazards

Lot of fun to play and challenging course. Fairways are in great condition. Could have used more than 15 practice balls for warm up. Very courteous and helpful staff especially the marshal and starter.

Good short city course

We had hoped for a longer course, however enjoyed the narrow fairways and challenges. Front nine was not played well until i started teeing off with my irons, back nine was much better.

Great Track

Most certainly a beautiful course with challenging holes. Somewhat small at times with only two par fives but great playability.. Great experience from check in to leaving the course a definite stop while in Orlando.

Nice well kept course but some random people wandering it

My first time playing the course and I had a great round (well 13 holes before dark). The only issue I ran into was one one hole there were two people practicing pitching and putting that we're not playing a round. Like they just wandered on the course. It delayed my round while I waited for them to clear out their balls (yes they had many lined up each) and move out of the way. Then on hole 9 there were people fishing in the ponds on the hole. I stood at the tee for a while thinking they were golfers. At hole 10 there were two people walking dogs in the fairway, and they acted inconvenienced when I went to the tee box to tee off. They huffed that they were just looking for their dog's toy but "they'd wait" while they stared at me while I teed off.

Overall the course was nice but I feel like a ranger should've been present at these instances. I didn't see one all afternoon
