StormCon 2025 attendees had an opportunity to visit Dubsdread Golf Course near the city of Orlando on August 26, 2025, where they learned about improvements made to the oldest public course layout in central Florida.
The project identified a potential partnership and an opportunity for stormwater treatment and reuse for a portion of the Ultimate I-4 improvements. A Joint Project Agreement was executed to treat and attenuate a portion of I-4 and the surrounding residential area with a series of interconnected ponds.
Other project elements include stormwater treatment for nearly 397 acres, wetland rehydration, pipe and discharge expansion and trash capture. The project proved effective in 2024 when the golf course opened two days after multiple hurricanes.
Attendees learned about the project, the hydraulic and environmental issues regarding inflow to the golf course, how the partnership between project stakeholders developed, how the permitting worked and lessons from the project.
