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.

continues to be a nice course

Greens were recently sanded, maybe last week, but they still rolled quite nicely. Fairways were pretty good. Sure, save the maint. money on the tee boxes, but they could use some work. Bunkers were like packed mud/sand. I would hope they would put some fresh sand in the bunkers. It rained half the round, but the course absorbed it pretty well.

Great Course!!!

What a great course to play, especially with its history. Great layout, course was in great shape and once the new driving range is finished, it will be as good as anything around. Will definitely play it anytime we are in town.

Nice course worth a look

I play this course throughout the year and it is usually in great shape, especially the greens and fairways. However, this day, the greens were rough and showing signs of weeds. I'm ok with so-so tee boxes if they need to save money on upkeep. However, many of the boxes look terrible. I know there has been a drought and the heat has arrived. Perhaps this is the problem and some rain will help.

Still a great public course.

Course conditions

The course needs LOTS of water .

Grass was thin in the fairways. It seemed like you would always have a lie where it was hard pan, or sandy, or hardy any ant grass.

The track was decent but landing areas seemed to be blinded somewhat , at least from the back tees .

Pretty Darn Good for $60

Greens played fast on 4/20/25.

It's been super dry here in Central Florida and the fairways showed it. But, unless the city wants to pay for that kind of watering it is what it is.

Pro shop had a new batch of gear in that was pretty good for the 100th anniversary.
