Outstanding

All I can say is wow. Doral itself is like Disneyworld for golf and luxury. I was blown away the entire time. The staff were exceptional and the course and facilities were excellent. I signed up to play the Red Tiger and got paired in a foursome. The starter said the Red was backed up and it would take 6 hours to finish and since the Gold course was empty we decided to play that. It was definitely harder than the Red, the fairways are really tight but very playable if you can make good shots. The greens were very tough, you had to make almost perfect approach shots to even sniff a birdie. The layout was great, tons of water and very scenic. Most of it was away from residential areas too so it felt more secluded than the other courses. I would come back and play this course everyday if I could!

Water, water, water

Played as a single and paired with threesome. It was almost as if we had the course to ourselves. Two singles played through, then not another player seen. The cart girl does not come around often, so stock up when she's there. There is a lot of water on this course, but it's manageable. The greens were true and lightning fast! Not much rough to speak of and the fairways were in great shape.

Terrible layout

The course itself was in great shape with a few minor wet spots. The greens ran smoothly and were fast. It is very challenging as the greens fell off on all sides.

The problem with the course is that there is a tremendous amount of cart traffic. There are several other courses that share the same cart path as the Gold course, so on many holes, especially on the front, there ar carts coming at you during your shot or crossing around you or coming up from behind. It was all distracting and slowed up play considerably. After three holes the group agreed not to play the course in the future as a result of the cart traffic. It was especially disappointing when you consider the price of between $125-$220 per round.

Fantastic Course

Easily one of the best courses in S. Florida. Excellently maintained, great pace, and a challenging course. Staff was very professional and friendly.

Only negative - you have to pay $20+ for parking.

Meticulously maintained

We picked up this tee time on a hot deal. Soon as we arrive we were greeting by friendly staff and an awesome resort. Very nice place. We played the Gold course. I would definitely recommend this place.

Loved it...

Had birdies, pars, bogeys and everything else possible. Teed off first one out in the morning. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The greens are fast but manageable. I highly recommend going to the practice area to get a feeling for the speed. On the card, I played with the flag in the No. 1 position. On putts shorter than 5 feet ended up under reading the break. On putts from 6-25 feet out ended up over reading the break...it is far more straight than it looked.

The back 9 are more difficult than the front 9. Wind played a big factor. Use the GPS, some holes visually look deceiving in distance. If you fall short of the green or your ball rolls off, at least for me, I found it better to use the putter.

Lots of sand, straight forward getting out of it. Although in one hole I was there for so long I think I got my tan just there alone. Loved the 18th island green. It really is not difficult at all, it just seems that way.

Overall, loved the facilities, the course, the staff, the setting and everything else. Definitely have to get in early and enjoy the facilities and stay later and keep enjoying them.

As good as the Blue Monster..

Great track, challenging throughout. I went out as a single on a day without much play, so the pace of play was awesome...can't say it is always like that. Bobby the starter set me up and gave me some good advice. It's a par 71 (36/35) and I had more trouble on the back then the front thanks to hole 10 and 18...both aren't that difficult...but they can be challenging! I played from the Blues 6002 yards (69.9 / 133)...had 8 pars..so I guess I could have played from the Gold which is only 322 yards more then the Blues...the course played true and was a lot of fun. I played the Silver Fox on another day and had to go back and play the 18th on the Golden Palm on my way back in to the clubhouse. I got a good deal on Golf Now and the price was worth it, doubt I would pay full rack rate very often....but it is a fun course.

Gorgeous course friendly staff! Best I've played!

This was the best course I have played! Challenging but fair, water and beautiful holes up and down the course. The layout was awesome! Definetly pay the $20 for valet it makes it much easier than trying to park and pay anyways plus they take car of your clubs before and after for you. Golfed the regular $250 course for $99 and people I played with stayed at the hotel and still paid $150. Awesome deal!

One of the best courses in Miami

As an advanced golfer, this course required deliberate shots as we had huge wind all day long. Add that strategically placed bunkers and water hazards and the risk/reward factor came into play quite frequently.

Excited to play the other courses, the entire property was first class! A must play!
