Dubsdread Golf Course
About
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.

Great, but tight course
Played today as a part of package and despite playing for the first time in a few months did have a good time. Conditions were good on both fairways and tee boxes. My only issue, and I knew it in advance, was how tight the course is. A few of my tee shots found the OB or water. Would probably visit again, but not as my first round on a trip.
Course was great shape. Good grassy fairways. Not a bare spot on any green. Excellent condition. I’ll definitely play it again.
So glad you enjoyed your round and we hope to see you again soon!
Thank you for the great review!
Super fast greens
Conditions were really good but the pace of play was very slow. Greens were very fast. All said it was still a fun round and I will play this course again.
Thank you for the review. We have increased the amount of time between tee times to assist with pace of play. Depending on what time you played, the average round was 4 hours and 3 minutes. We take this seriously and hope you have a better experience on your next visit.
Thanks for the review!
Golf carts
Had problems with cart on front nine not wanting to go but just barely moving for about a minute and then slowly pick up speed. Changed carts after nine holes but on the 15 th hoke cart died. Tried to call clubhouse but nobody answered. Told a passing golfer our problem and he said he would report the problem. Waited over thirty minutes no response. Tried cart again and went forward. Finished round. Never saw anyone coming to our aid. Poor service!
Thank you for the feedback. The Club Car golf carts have had an issue with a speed regulator. They are switching the bad parts out as fast as they can. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please let me know when you will be back to the club. I would love the chance to discuss with you. rodney@dubsdreadgolf.com
Awesome staff! You made my first impression fabulous! Thank you!
The course was in great shape. The layout was great. It was very windy and it felt like playing Pebble Beach at times. The greens were recently airriated but still rolled pretty true. I didn’t see a cart person selling cold beverages the entire round but we refreshed at the turn so overall it was a positive experience!
So glad you had a great time. We were short staffed on the beverage cart that day, but that is not the norm. We believe having cold drinks and snacks is a major part of a great experience. Hope to see you again soon!
Great course!
Course looked great, greens are fast as all get out, always look forward to avaoiding responsibilities and getting out on this course.
Love this review! We are glad you choose Dubsdread to escape your responsibilities for the day!
Downtown Gem
I have played this course several times and I always love it. Herman in the pro shop is always so very nice. Course conditions were good, but hole placement made this round a little more difficult. The greens keeper has a sick sense of humor.
We also think Herman is amazing!
There were some tough pins on this day! We actually used your review as a training tool for our setup team. We can't guaranty easy pins, but we try to limit very difficult pins to one or two a nine. See you soon!
Enjoyable !
Nice course, playable. Fairways were a little thin, but overall acceptable. Staff were great.
Old fun course, lots of history
The course is in great shape, it plays not as long as others but will challenge you. Lots of water and angles, figure out the placement and you will be rewarded.
Put this one on your list.
Just can't agree with the your comments enough. Using the GPS to find the best place to put your shots is key! Thanks for sharing!
Always Love Playing Here
The course was in very good shape. Some maintenance here and there but not in the way. Quite a few forced carries over water so if you are timid about that you won't be too happy here. Greens were in great shape and very fast due to lack of rain and fast drying in the sunny days. I would HIGHLY recommend to the course to update your carts. The one I had had cigarette burns in the seat and the speed kept varying while driving on the cart path (or anywhere for that matter) from as fast as it would go (not very fast at all) to slow to full speed again. I thought about turning it in at the turn but decided to just keep it to finish the round. Just too lazy to move my stuff quickly to keep pace into the back. The other three guys had carts that were much faster than the one I got. But I do love this course (be careful of traffic when crossing the roads) and will be back when I can get a good Hot Deal.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and suggestions. We have been struggling with the speed control unit on the Club Car fleet. They are replacing the bad parts as soon as they can. We are working on a new fleet of carts, but in the meantime, we will continue to improve the conditions of these carts.
Horrible
If you enjoy golf don’t go here. Worst run golf course I have ever been to. Seriously don’t waste your time. If you have other choices take them go there.
Jaws Teeth
Leave your Driver in the bag if you want to score low here. Lotsa of Out of bounds shots, and water. It is a beautifully maintained city course relatively short in total yards. Accuracy is imperitive off the T. I cannot figure this track out! Good luck!
Great Course to Play!
I played this course several times before had a great time playing as usual. The tee boxes need fixing all dirt needs TLC and a few other things, overall the course is in pretty decent condition except for whole number 18 is still under construction you need to fix. Hole 18 tee box area has been under construction for over several months. I would recommend playing this course go and have a great time make sure you use enough club on the par 3's across the water...hahahahahaha!
Thank you for the feedback. We are so happy you enjoyed the course. Dubsdread does have some challenging holes and for longer hitters you may need to choose shorter clubs off the tee on some holes. We hope to see you again on your next trip to Orlando!
