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 Historic Muni

There are many members of the course I think. It’s shorter and fun! Lots of water and beautiful scenery. Cart girl and Marshall there too. It’s great

Enjoyable golf

Play this course every time we holiday in Orlando. It a traditional golf course with large established trees and it's not hole after hole of hitting over lakes to the fairways. Course is always in reasonable condition and the staff are very friendly. Pace of play is usually ok and even teeing off later in the day you can get 18 holes in on the twilight rate.

A good challenge for most anyone

Well maintained fairways and greens. IF you are in the rough it's another story. Lots of bare spots under trees if you're unfortunate enough to go there, with leaves and roots :( Good staff, very friendly. Disorganized on the holiday weekend as they ran out of carts and range balls by 2:20. Still, I will be back!

Great Course and Staff. Slow Play.

Really enjoyed playing Dubsdread. Kudos to the staff and grounds crew. The course is great (and greens are near perfect.) However, the pace-of-play is quite slow. I gave up after completing the 10th hole (another player quit after finishing the front 9.) Look forward to playing it during the off-season when the course sees fewer rounds a day.

Pace of play

I have been playing at Dubsdread for many many years and while at times pace of play becomes an issue it’s usually due to some sort of event which is not always a problem. Today however was different, there was a group of 8 people with 5 kids and 3 adults all playing and none of them are golfers mind you. We spoke with the starter and all he did was promised us that it will not be a 5-6 hours round which it was.

Challenging but fun for a high handicapper

Second time here and it did not disappoint, only my play around it. Good tees, fairways, and great greens. But if you get in the rough then it is sandy-dirty and full of leaves. Most spots under trees have no grass and tons of roots showing. Challenging elevated greens. Clubhouse was very friendly but disorganized. Out of carts and range balls. Waited 15 min for a cart return from the course. But I'll play it again.

Love the staff but the course needs some maintenance

For the money you can’t beat it. The people are awesome. Nice little course. The ground is so hard though. I’m not sure what they can do but certain areas feel like you’re hitting the ball off of concrete. Which makes chipping a challenge. Plus it may be time to vacuum the leaves up. If you shoot tee to green it’s a nice little place to enjoy a round of golf. It not be prepared it may not be idea conditions. But again. It’s the people there that make this course so enjoyable and not pay so much attention to the other stuff.
