The historic Dubsdread Golf Course (Website) is celebrating 100 years of living that Orlando life on the evening of Thursday, September 12, and tee off at 5:30 p.m.
The course was designed by Orlando resident Carl Dann Sr. in the early 1920s and opened to the public in 1924. The name allegedly comes from Dann’s hopes to instill fear in beginner golfers who were called “dubs” at the time. It was purchased by the City of Orlando in 1978 and redesigned in 2008.
Tickets to the centennial celebration are $100 (get it?) and available HERE for purchase. The event will feature a look at Dubsdread’s history and a “glimpse into the course’s future, with a sneak peek at exciting projects that will ensure Dubsdread continues…” according to the event’s Facebook invitation.
There will be food, drinks, music, games, and more, to benefit youth golf programming.
Golf-inspired attire is encouraged.
