Slated to open in late summer 2025, this project will enhance the facility, offering 40 practice bays and improved amenities for golfers of all skill levels. As the course approaches its 100th anniversary, this renovation reflects the city’s dedication to preserving its golfing heritage while embracing modern advancements.

Exciting New Developments Coming to Orlando’s Dubsdread Golf Course

Orlando is gearing up for an exciting transformation at the historic Dubsdread Golf Course, with plans underway to create a brand-new, state-of-the-art driving range and golf learning center. Set to open in the late summer of 2025, this development marks a significant milestone in the course’s storied history, which has been part of the city’s golfing tradition for almost a century!

A Glance at a Rich History

For those unfamiliar, Dubsdread Golf Course was designed way back in 1924, making it a beloved cornerstone of Orlando’s golfing landscape. As the course reaches its 100th anniversary, there couldn’t be a better time for such exciting renovations. The driving range will certainly cater to golfers of all skill levels, ensuring that everyone from families to seasoned young adults will find joy in honing their swings.

What’s in Store?

The new driving range, a sleek single-story structure, is anticipated to have up to 40 bays for golfers to practice their shots. Additionally, enhancements to the course amenities are on the horizon, including a new golf snack building and a covered driving range to keep golfers comfortable during those sunny Orlando days. Visitors will also benefit from upgraded restroom facilities next to the snack bar, ensuring a more enjoyable experience.

Construction Timeline

Unfortunately, the current driving range will be closed during construction, but this temporary setback will give way to an exciting future! The planned timeline shows that the design consultations with various stakeholders, including the St. John’s Water Management District and the Orlando Fire Department, will take about three months, laying the foundation for construction to begin as early as January 2025 if everything stays on track.

Get Ready for the Centennial Celebration

As the countdown to renovations begins, Dubsdread is also preparing to celebrate its long-standing heritage. A Centennial Celebration is set for September 12th, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM at The Tap Room. Attendees can look forward to a delightful evening filled with food, drinks, music, games, and several exciting prizes, all benefitting youth golf programs. It’s an event golf lovers simply cannot miss!

And although the spots for the charity golf tournament dubbed Dubsdread’s Centennial Celebration Golf Tournament scheduled for August 17th have already closed, it’s clear the momentum is building around this historic course.

Embracing the Future

Renovations, first undertaken in 2008, helped preserve the historical charm of Dubsdread while integrating modern golfing needs. This latest initiative demonstrates the city’s commitment to honoring the course’s rich history while investing in its exciting future. The original designer, Tom Bendelow, has left an indelible mark on public golf since the 1920s, and many are eager to see how his vision continues to evolve.

A Future to Tee Off For

In summary, the upcoming driving range and learning center at Dubsdread Golf Course promises not just an upgrade of facilities, but a rejuvenation of community, golf traditions, and local lore. The goal is clear: draw in more visitors and enhance the overall golfing experience in Orlando. It’s definitely a thrilling time for all golf enthusiasts, and everyone is looking forward to teeing off a new chapter at Dubsdread!
