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.

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.

Neighborhood Gem!!

I love this course. It was in great shape and the greens were fast. It’s a shorter course, but the greens can be challenging. Pace of play was a little slow(4 3/4 hours to play, but this particular day seemed a lot busier than usual

Orlando’s old school gem!

I am a high handicap are all still loves to play golf a couple of times a week. I had the opportunity yesterday to play the course with three friends two of which are scratch golfers. Spending four hours on the course watching and hitting from every Teebox really gives you a distinct flavor for what a unique and exceptional experience playing Dubsdread can be. I would recommend this to any level golfer.

Great Day-Great Course

Although DD is a short course but don’t let fool you. Tight fairways, small greens forces you play your A game if you want to score low.

Conditions were excellent, some slow play, but the greens rolled trued and were in great shape. Need to strategize and execute your game if you have one.

Can’t believe the price for this course. Awful course management for pace of play. Waiting 3 deep on tee boxes…would not recommend unless you want to play a 5+ Hour round
