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.

Course is in poor conditions

Course and range appear to be neglected. Fairways are dry. Blue tees have very little to no grass. Proshop allowed a 4some to be joined with 3 scantily clad women playing loud musici just ahead of my 4some

Pace was turtle-pace. Not going back this course.

Good, if you are a local

Course was in reasonable condition pace of play was on the slow side.

I was politely asked by the pro shop if I could move to the next tee time, I agreed without question.

I was then moved again by the starter, this time without being asked.

On both occasions this was to accommodate locals.

I am not sure this course needs or wants visitors.

Packed

I’ve played this course many times and it is currently in great condition but unfortunately they packed people in. 3 groups on every hole on the front nine. Heard to find a groove at a snails pace. There was barely any golf carts when we got there, the one we got was low on battery life and was struggling thru the round. Just be nice to spread out tee times a little more.

Best Muni around

The course is in great shape. Greens roll true and the rough is just thick enough to penalize wayward drives. The course is not long, but the small elevated greens place a premium on accuracy. The on cart GPS is fantastic. Be sure to pay attention to the distance to hazards off the tee, as many are within the driving distance of an average player. We played as a 4 some in less than four hours. The legendary Tap Room restaurant is on site and highly recommend for a post round beverage. The pro shop along with the starter were the friendliest we have encountered in months. Great job “City of Orlando”

Perfect Greens

Can’t say enough about how well conditioned this course was considering the amount of play it receives. The pace was brutally slow though. 5 hour rounds are rarely fun

Horrible Slow Play

It took us 3.5 hrs to play 9 holes. Management over booked tees times for (2) large groups and regular players (like me) who play their consistently we’re not considered.

After 9 holes I got a rain check to finish another day. I understand slow play happens but this was way over the top and inexcusable.

Very disappointed and mad that we regular golfers were basically thrown to wolves so DUbsdread could feast on their larger groups instead of telling regular golfers the truth.

Very nice municipal course

Nice layout and challenging despite what may seem to be a short course. Despite minimal recent rain the course had many soft and soggy areas. Drainage needs to be addressed.

Very disappointed

Sunday play was disgustingly slow. Management over booked tee times and they several large groups that were in play as well.

At one point it 30 minutes to play 1 hole. I was so angry, I had get a rain check to finish my round.

I’ve played this course year round and I cannot believe management let this happen. 3.5 hours to play 9 holes.

If it ever happens again, I’m finding another course. I don’t appreciate how it was handled.

Outstanding - most enjoyable round we've had in months

'Hidden gem' is a bit of a cliche, and I guess it might have been 'hidden' only because I hadn't looked hard enough - this is obviously a very well established course. Loved it...

It has the look & feel of a club that might be a bit snooty or superior....it has that 'old money' feel to it. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Everybody was very friendly and welcoming - incl all staff, other members/players, etc. they seemed genuinely happy that you had chosen to play there today. Pace of play was great on the front 9, but much slower on the back 9 - not sure why, but that would be my only criticism.

Not too long, or too short. Greens in great condition, as was everything else. My wife and I play 2 or 3 times a week, and as soon as we left Dubsdread we were thinking about when we'd be back.
