Mount Dora Golf Club

We enjoyed playing Mount Dora. It is an older course with a "Municipal" feel to it. Conditions were good with tee boxes and greens in very good condition, while the greens were perfect.
Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The course is short, but very challenging. The greens are overly deceptive leading to a few extra puts.

We will go back. Great value (Price) compared to many of the other area courses at this time of year.

Lady starters were very friendly and energetic. Recommend a ranger ensure pace of play.

We enjoyed this course the first time we went 2 years ago, and we enjoyed it this year as well. Very nice employees, and the course is very well taken care of

Firstly, staff was great and apologetic. Course conditions fair and layout quite nice. Greens are elevated and small, therefore challenging, in good condition, newly sanded and “hairy” and very slow.
Pace of play is absolutely awful - the course obviously has many senior members that feel they “own”’the course and there was no attempt to let people play through - we ended up skipping 3 holes (14,15 and18) as we had waited very long on each hole on the back nine. Pace for first 9 was 2 hours but 2.00 for the second 6 we played. I was in a twosome, 2 foursomes ahead of me playing scramble golf, all senior citizens playing extremely slow and no ranger on the course.

I played two golf courses like this when I was a teenager. They followed the lay of the land without a lot of earth moved and they had a natural feel rather than that of a design imposed on the property. Conditions were modest. Unfortunately, the courses I remember no longer exist, so it was a pleasure to play this course. Mt. Dora has a variety of good holes with significant elevation changes. Greens are small, consistent with an older course. It is a different style than typical FL courses and worth playing, if you love the game.

I usually enjoy playing this course but today, the group in front was so slow and so annoying that we actually did not finish the course.
I have never seen 3 men play so slowly. Did not hit their drives until the group ahead of them was at the green - and their drives were maybe 150 yards - at best!!!
I’m hoping this will not happen again. Sometimes they need to send out a Ranger.
Still I’ll go back because the staff is wonderful!

Decent golf course
Hilly
Hard to find signage and Entrance

First - I love this course - it’s a decent track with some wonderful holes. BUT most of the greens have become unplayable. They are so crowned up that no one’s ball will stay on the green for putting. So, unless you can chip in from the fairway- the ball is not going in the hole! We finally have started “ just add two strokes after you get on or to the green” instead of putting. I’ve played this course for years and it’s gotten worse!
