Trump National Doral Miami - Golden Palm Course

The best of the best!

I live in Florida and have played a lot of the Florida courses but I will tell you that playing the Golden Palm and the Silver Fox over these last two days has been pure bliss!

Golf now provided wonderful pricing and truly the two courses could not have been in more perfect shape!

Perfect teeboxes, perfect fairways, perfect greens, and playing these courses makes you feel like you are playing at the masters they are so beautifully and well manicured!

The golden palm has the hardest greens, the silver fox is narrow and challenging because of that, the red tiger has small greens that are elevated, and the blue monster is long and wide open!

This course was incredible, greens fast, fairways perfectly groom, real test for your game. Loved it, we play again

Gold is my favorite track at Doral. However a few of the BS extras like valet parking charge of more than $20 plus tip is stupid. Self parking is super far away and still costs $15.

Driving range uses the mats on most days which is BS.

Beer cart girl was very friendly and helpful.

I shot 82, lost 4 balls.

Greens run smooth and true.

I’m a four handicap and found the Golden Palm course a challenge but a fair one. It was windy so that made it much more difficult. Also we played from the Gold tees that are around 6300 but there was barely a difference in comparison to the Black that are listed at 7000. It would seem one was off but maybe it was the wind that just made the course feel longer.

Overall the experience was great. Had a great pre game brunch and after game drink. The amenities are top notch. The value for money was helped by the overall amenity experience.

Par threes were mostly low iron shots which were a challenge and there is a real premium on hitting it straight off the tee as there is a lot of water up the fairways to deal with.

All in all I would return. Mostly to play it again with less wind.

The Gold course offers green complexes that are more difficult than its’ fabled sister course, the Blue Monster.

There are some really good, fun holes, like Nos. 8, 10, and 18. However, this is typical Florida resort style golf. One dogleg with water down one side numbs you to the stellar holes.

I don’t think the value is there to warrant the price tag. But, once on the property they’ve got you. You can either pay twice as much for another round on the Blue, or feel like you are saving money by playing the Gold or Red.

Enjoyed everything over there. Paid $20 for parking.

Great course to play, place was in amazing condition. The staff went out of their way to make us feel appreciated. After our round our waiter Robert was awesome and John the manager is truly an asset look forward to visiting them again!

Played as a foursome here on 2/6/22, and while the conditions were extremely good, the pace of play was atrocious. After 3 hours to play 7 holes, we decided to call the clubhouse to ask them to tell the groups in front to play on pace, but instead we were told that we were 30 minutes behind pace, and the groups in front were on pace. We ended up leaving after 12 holes

No coordination between Valet parking and golf bag drop off. Got our car but need to wait 30 minutes for our golf bag. What a management???
