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.

Fub course. Short but challenging

First time playing but really enjoyed. Herman in the pro shop was super helpful since it was our first time playing. Also the starter (sorry can't remember his name) was very friendly and also helpful. Highly recommend having lunch or dinner next door to the course. Delicious!

Better than most

At about 6100 yards from the back tees, this is not the longest course in town. But the small greens, rough and mounded fairways offset the lack of distance. The course was redesigned several years ago. Numerous holes on the front nine have been re routed with mounds added to the fairways that create the challenge of uneven lies. Gone are the roads that use to traverse several of the holes that required the player to play shots between moving cars. The greens were in excellent condition but I believe the course will be aerated on 9/14. Based on recent rain it was cart path only, but that was a fair trade for fairways that were not inundated with tire tracks and mud. The practice area is much improved. The only negative is it’s a water range. Previous reviews listed pace of play issues, we played in 3 1/2 hours on a Sunday afternoon. It’s not the cheapest place in town, but if you can play for $40 you’ll enjoy the experience.

Mixed Feelings

I truly have mixed emotions about this, Herman in the pro shop was an absolute delight. His introduction and making sure we knew what we had in store was a great touch. My dad said if he ever had to open a golf course he would hire Herman in an instant; amazing guy. The lady working the beverage cart was kind and was always around.

Those were the highlights of the day. The driving range was lacking, had to hit off mats. Their carts have GPS which is helpful but the course was not what I was hoping for. There were several times the crew was mowing while I was hitting. Every place I’ve ever been to before the shut off the mower or idle. It was some of those little things that didn’t help the experience. Their tee times stagger every 8 minutes which didn’t seem like enough time for a group to tee off, hit their second shot, sometimes search for it without things getting congested. We followed a group of two that joined that was following a single who had two in front of him. My dad and I were a two-some and we were followed by a group of three and behind them were two. On the par 5s I’d look back and there were 4 groups on the hole.

All in all, I must say $56 for a round is much more than I should’ve paid. I feel $35-$40 would’ve been appropriate, anything extra is not worth what you pay in my opinion.
