This beloved gem in the College Park neighborhood is set to undergo a remarkable renovation costing nearly $4 million. The focus? A delightful mix of preserving its rich history while introducing modern amenities that appeal to both veterans and beginners alike.
What’s New on the Course?
First up on the renovation list is a shiny new Learning Center. Imagine having a dedicated space where you can hone your skills with the help of experienced instructors! The Learning Center will boast multiple training areas designed to elevate your game. Rain or shine, there will be air-conditioned indoor simulated tee boxes, so no more worrying about the weather affecting your practice.
Get Ready to Swing!
Next in line is the driving range, which is undergoing a much-anticipated revamp. Golfers can look forward to a covered and redesigned driving range featuring 40 bays. Each bay will be enhanced with advanced Trackman golf simulators, ready to take your game to the next level. How does that sound? These state-of-the-art simulators don’t just record your swing; they provide valuable insights through swing analysis and allow you to virtually play famous courses, so you can practice while having fun!
In addition to the high-tech features, the driving range is also incorporating Doppler radar technology. This will track each shot from the range, giving you comprehensive data regarding your performance. The best part? You can easily check your ball speed, club path, and face angle through the Trackman system, which uses a whopping 44 distinct metrics to help tailor lessons specifically for you.
The Perfect Spot to Chill
Feeling a little peckish after all that swinging? No worries! The driving range will also be home to a new “19th Hole” area, where golfers can relax and unwind with snacks and beverages. It’s the perfect place to take a break, socialize with friends and family, and share round-up scores after an exciting game.
Preserving the Past with a Modern Twist
The renovations have been designed with a thoughtful eye on maintaining the historical essence of Dubsdread while providing a modern social environment. City officials and local leaders believe that upgrading the course will serve as a fantastic opportunity to bring the community together, making it not just a golf course but a gathering place for everyone in Orlando.
When Can We Expect the Overhaul to Be Complete?
The renovation process kicked off in April, and it comes with a budget of $3.8 million funded entirely by golf course revenues. Those looking forward to experiencing the refreshed Dubsdread Golf Course will have to mark their calendars for the anticipated grand opening in October. It promises to be an exciting event that celebrates both the sport of golf and the local community.
