Trump National Doral Miami - Red Tiger Course

GPS in carts; be aware when you approach the green, the cart shuts off till you go to cart path.

The pars are equally divided: 6 of each 3s, 4s & 5s. Most players are Blue & White, but we were White & Red.

Except for 5&6, Red Tiger was a thinking course management exercise.

#5 had a green with sharp sides leading to water or bunkers. Carry not bad with 50yds from edge before water to green. You need to be high in the air to prevent roll of the green.

#6 had 100yd carry over water and water to the rear of green.

Good condition: Tees, Fairways, Sand (soft) and greens. Bunkers had high to steep lips. Bunkers are many but can be avoided.

Side water galore with sharp drop off. Most roll ins are retrievable. Rough doesn't stop the rolling ball.

Strange to us were the proximity of the Tees boxes. Be careful to read the Hole signs.

Probably one of the best all around experiences I've had at a golf course. Amazing condition, challenging, clubhouse and locker rooms were top notch and the staff was very friendly. Will def play again

The Red Tiger is a great layout. The course is very challenging with lots of hazards. The greens run fast and true.

Top notch course - a must play

We are here on holiday from UK, we really enjoyed this course. Playing pace was initially slow due to it being Saturday and extremely busy. We played earlier in the week and it was much better. It is challenging with fast undulating greens on some holes and lots of water. You need to course manage particularly if you are not a big hitter. The staff were great, friendly and helpful and the facilities here were excellent. It is pricey but you get what you pay for. Service recovery is excellent, if something goes wrong, everyone is keen to please and to make sure you enjoy your round. Whilst we were here we had a couple of days of torrential rain but the courses recovered very quickly. We played Red, Silver and Gold but we liked Red the best.

got a great rate on golf now. the course payed well even though we've had a lot of rain in Miami. greens were in excellent condition

It had rained a few inches 2 and 4 days before and the course was in pristine condition with hardly a wet spot anywhere but the water hazards. Except for it being 68 degrees which was too cold for the beverage cart gal but not us Midwesterners, everything was exceptional. An awesome experience.

I had a great day, the course is challenging but fair, the green were very fast.

Got a great deal through Golfnow, and enjoyed playing the course. The prices are quite high at Doral so only worth it if you get a decent deal. Additional cost include parking, about 15 dollars for five hours.

It was my first round on the Red course since Trump took over and I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, it's expensive! But you get what you pay for. Greens were really nice. Conditions overall were unbelievable. Now I just need someone to invite me to play the Blue Monster.

Only negative was we where behind two foursomes that were playing very slow. No one behind us and no one ahead of the two groups either. Wish there would have been a ranger to move them along. They were putting out everything as if a major championship depended on it. We nicely suggested moving things along but to no avail.

I have never played on a trump course until i played here and the first thing that comes to mind is wow what a beautiful facility. The club house/resort is amazing. The driving range was in great shape just lacked flag yardages (not the worst thing in the world). The chipping and bunker practice area was a great prep for the on course conditions. Everything about this course was perfect. The red tiger may not have been the most challenging golf course but it made for a great day on the course. The staff was more then help full with any questions i had. The only thing i didnt like was that you have to pay to park your car.. The round is expensive as is i think that paying to park is a little much but still a great place to play!

The course os excelent. The greens aré very good. Everything esa great

Beautiful course and resort. You absolutely get what you pay for. Definitely worth the experience!

The layout wasn't bad however the greens were burnt out in spots all over the course. It made putting and joke

Let me start by saying the customer service was top notch. The only problem I have with this course is the quality of the course itself for what you pay. While the course is in good shape ( fairways -mostly good, bunkers-so so, greens- less than expected) it's not what I would call a $150 course. Granted, I got a good deal on golf now, but I would have been ticked if I had paid full price. Don't get me wrong it's a perfectly good course but for the price you pay it's not worth it to me even at $70. I play a course in Nashville that I pay $50-60 and is a good deal better than the red tiger. To me it's more of a $50 at best although you get great customer service that's not what I play for. You pay for the trump name, I guess someone has to help with his presidential campaign :-).

Trump is doing his thing at Doral, this notable property is going on to the next level of sophistication, class and service. I was lucky to get a good deal and played the course with my father, that was able to play one of his bucket list courses for same green fee of other local golf courses with less glamour.
There was some construction and remodeling going on, but we came for the golf course, and it did not disappoint.
Best Golf ever! Highly recommended

So my review is mostly based on having played the "old" version of the Red course at Doral several times in the past. It's really unrecognizable now, in a great way. The Gil Hanse design team and the Trump group did a great job on the redesign, and it's a very memorable and challenging experience. This is in stark contrast to the old Red course which was short and not very memorable.
I was really impressed by the condition of the course - which is right up there with the Blue Monster. No question it's 5 out of 5. Fairways, tee boxes were in great shape. Greens were as well, but very firm - playing conditions are firm and fast overall. A lot of holes you have to bounce it onto the green to hold - and luckily the course is designed to allow you to do that on most holes.
There are a lot of water hazards and bunkers that makes it even more challenging as well.
My favorite holes are probably the Par 5 5th hole and Par 4 15th hole. #5 is a risk/reward par 5 that plays around a large lake. I played it aggressively and only had 150 left. Play it safe, you can have 250 left to a peninsula green. Lots of options! I love courses that allow for creativity. The 15th is a par 4 that also plays around a lake. Bailed out right but still had 160 left to a green fronted by water on the left. You could choose to play it safe since there is a run up to the green if you favor the right side. Again, options!
Lots of variety to the holes as well - a little bit of everything. Can't ask for more than that. Lots of tee boxes for golfers of various abilities. I'm scratch, played from the tips and it was very challenging - #18 is one of the toughest finishing holes out there - almost right there with 18 at the Blue Monster.
Course knowledge will definitely count for a lot my next time back.
Book your tee time on golfnow and you can get a really great deal. Anything under $150 is a great price for this course, relatively speaking. I've paid more for courses that haven't been nearly as nice. Also I played in a little over 3 hrs on a Sat afternoon! I'd highly recommend!

Course was in good shape. Good layout. What makes this courses difficult are the Greens. Greens don't wholed, bounce over or roll though.

Good mix of short and long holes from back tees. Greens in great shape. Pretty firm and a lot of character. Played 36 holes for about $200 with Golfnow Hot deal for first 18 holes. Trump even was there and complimented drive of my playing partner on 10th tee.
