Rating 69.7

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.

Short course with character

Great track. Was worried that the course was going to be short, but played longer than yardage or scorecard. Course was is good shape, pace of play was good, until the last couple holes. Course knowledge goes a long way here. Was unsure where to hit it on a lot of holes, sneaky hazards everywhere.

Great test of golf

It may be a short course but it is a real test. You need to be accurate off the tee and the green complexes are not easy. Course is in good shape. Wish the greens were a bit faster but still good. Have played when greens have been faster. This place always makes we want to come back.

Great Greens

Course was in very good shape for amount of play and time of year. Kudos to greens staff. Play was really slow but to be expected on an inner city public facility. Staff was great.

Always good

as a single player paired up with three friends who played together often, I wasn’t sure what to expect but the gentlemen were as friendly as the course. The round moved at a decent pace and the course was in great shape. I will be back

Good twilight time but pace of play was abysmal

I was a solo and had a group old older gentlemen in front of me that would hit the ball about 100 yards off the tee and would not let me pass. Even sometimes hitting 2-3 balls per player off the tee. Wasn’t too bad until I caught up to them on about hole 4. Then was waiting 5-10 minutes on every tee box. They ended up only playing 9 but then on 10 got stuck behind a group of 5 that was playing from 3 diffrent tee boxes. Ended up only getting 15 in as a solo with a 3 1/2 hour round. Course may need a Ranger to drive around and speed up pace

But other than pace of play course is very good. Contusions are not as good as summer but are still some of the best around in the price range.

Fast greens, Tight course

Very tight driving holes. Nice but quick greens. Average condition for a mini course. Pro shop people are exceptionally helpful. Due to tight course pace of play is a little slow. Had 3 groups on 10th tee but it got better after that. Good value for the money.

A hidden gem

This old style course requires you to hit shots. At 6100 yards with a par of 70 it's has plenty of distance. The staff was outstanding and welcoming.

Slow, slow, slow.

Fairways thin, greens mediocre. Delayed start time, and play was ridiculously slow. Quit after 9 holes.

Fun but challenging

Cool course. I made the mistake of playing the morning after I had played at Disney, and my body was just tired. I was playing lazy, so it wasn’t a great round for me, but that’s just because I suck, definitely not the course’s fault. 😂 Some of the holes are long and narrow, but who’s not up for a good challenge!?
