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.

Fun but tight

This is a fun course, but you’ll need to leave the big dog in the bag on most tees. Many of the holes have little to no room for a miss, left or right. However, the course was in excellent condition, the gentleman in the pro shop was super friendly and informative, and the carts had gps. Overall, we had a great day of golf. Our future plans will include this cours.

Great morning with Son-in-law

We teed off a little before 8 am and the round took 4.5 hours. The course gets a lot of play but the conditions were better than average.

I ran out of sand to fill divots with after about 12 holes...The group in front of us didn't fill a divot the entire round.

Greens rolled very nicely with lots of slope.

The course is quite enjoyable...you will not hit the same shot twice.

One of the best

Always an enjoyable round at dubsdread. As long as you can avoid playing in the middle of the day on the weekend, pace of play is not a problem. Great layout and friendly staff - the starter who is always working is phenomenal.

Recently aerated but not that bad. Be aware of other golfers balls

It’s currently cheaper for being aerated thought it didn’t look that bad on the green. The course is narrow and very likely for a slice to end up on another hole. The carts come with monitors giving you a distance to the hole and connecting your phone via Bluetooth. Will play this course again next time I visit

Dubsdred

This was a fantastic course. The course was well groomed, greens played true and were in great condition. The staff was extremely friendly, and made everyone feel very welcome. I played on a Saturday at noon and the pace of play was amazing, never waited to hit a shot. The only downside is the range. The range has matts and the range balls need to be replaced. Other than that this is one of the best public courses in Orlando for a reasonable price.

We understand your concerns regarding the range balls. A new shipment was just delivered, but it may take some time to cycle all of the older balls out. The mats are brand new, although we know this isn't the same as hitting off of grass, given the amount of traffic the range here receives, it is impossible to keep good turf. We are always working to improve and we will try and find a way to incorporate grass hitting into the schedule. Thank you again for the message!
