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.

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!?

Get what you pay for!

Course was in very rough shape even though when checking in we were told how the course was in such great shape. Pace of play was slow. Had a group of seven in front of us and it took to about hole 8 for the ranger to separate them. Didn’t matter the 3 in front would wait for the 4 behind and continue the back up. I would not worry about gators in the water hazards there was enough garbage in the water to poison them. The beverage cart attendant was probably the best of the course. Very attentive and made us aware of the pace ahead as well as her rounds. There is reason why the rate is half the price of other area courses. Should be 1/4 the price based on the conditions.

Great day at Dubsdread

I set up this course for the last day of a six day golf trip and wow what a gem. The staff inside the pro shop might be the most engaging I’ve ever experienced and the starter got us out promptly with some advice for newcomers. I am a fan of older courses with a lot of history and DD has it. The course was in great shape, especially the greens and all of the holes are unique. We played the blue tees and the course was a full test of my bag. We will definitely be back.

Enjoy Playing This Old School Course

I miss placed my 6 iron. I called the Pro Shop, located it and brought it out to me within 20 minutes. Great customer care!!!

I’ve not been thrilled about the resident/ nonresident pricing that started a couple of years after I discovered and began to play the course. It caused me not to even consider DubsDread for 1 or 2 years This year I’ve been able to purchase “Deal Times” which enables me to play at what I feel is a reasonable rate.

Always a fun course to play…tight in spots and not too long from any tee box. Staff is friendly and always treat you well. Their pub has amazing food and drinks…partial to the burgers with truffle fries 😁.
