Trump National Doral Miami - Silver Fox Course

Everything about this course is perfect as you would expect with Trump actually there, he said hello from a distance. The great Jim Mclean played 12 holes with us and gave us a 3 hour one on one lesson on the house. He changed my game forever in that time and have drooped 5 strokes and counting. Can never thank him enough. GREAT course, very hard,recommend playing it at least once, even at the high price.

I've been to almost all courses in Miami - Crandon, Great White, Shula, Blue Monster, Palmetto, Biltmore, - and I finally found my go to course. For people who prefer not to go on a dog track, and have a nicer course, this was the best course for the money. Great quality and value. And a great and well maintained course.

I've played the Great white 2 years ago and i was not disappointed. I tried Mclean this year and i only have good things to say about Doral. For a guy coming from the north like me, this place is just paradise.

See you soon Doral!

We were very disappointed : we played good couses in the area of naples with were cheaper and/or better.

The Jim Mc Lean Course has nothing to do with The Donald Trump courses - without the name. No driving range for $ 120, no real service: no ice water on the round, no one was cleaning the clubs....and no sheriff managed the speed of the game on the course.

Had the privilege to play at Doral, the Jim McLean course. The Big Blue was closed due to construction and I couldn't get tee times at the others (Gold or Great White), but I have to tell you, the JM course was not a consolation prize. It's a championship track and I felt very underrated versus how the other Doral courses are described.

Plenty of trouble on the course, strategic bunkers and water and the infamous Bermuda Triangle was pretty amazing. The course begins with 3 par 4s that goes 470, 490, 490, in swirling Florida wind. Wow, you either start with a bang or will go down pretty hard before you even get to the 4th hole. We did ok to get by these three monsters with minimal damage.

The green fee was a great value and the staff was exceptional. I would go back to this course any time.

Its expensive, but you get a great course and layout for the price. The greens rolled true and fast, the fairways were tight and the rough was manageable. A good course if you can find a good price.

The course was in very good condition and the amenities were first rate. The play was open and we finished the round in below average time.

Take one course with great potential, one giant ego and you get a course originally designed to be challenging to all players at all levels into a course designed solely for the long hitter. Jim McClean may be a famous teacher, but as a course designer there's a reason his name is not on other courses. He is blinded by his desire to create a monument to his name. Now add a second ego like Donald Trump and you have ballyhoo instead of a formerly really good course that just needed some freshening and better maintenance. Gone are the sand traps because pros don't like them. The new name is how long can we hit it? The fact that they destroyed a really challenging course for all doesn't matter. The whole course is now about length instead of shot placement, strategy or thinking through a hole. Just hit it long.

The course is very well maintained. The staff are incredibly friendly and professional. It was a great round of golf!

Recently renovated. Great equipment (brand new carts, GPS, etc.) very friendly staff and very nice course - good bar at the end of the round.

Well maintained, challenging layout, long and with water everywhere.

Course was in great condition although greens had been aerated in past few weeks. Still rolled well. #10 is normally a par-5 but playing as a par-3 due to the temp home for McLean's school while the Blue Monster is being renovated. No driving range but nets to hit balls to loosen up. Plenty of water hazards to grab wayward shots. Staff very friendly. Great price thru GolfNow.

I was excited to play one of the new Trump courses but after a 5 hour round ( because there are no rangers or any kind of assistance to enforce slow play) i gave up and left the course.
I was told that the course was recently upgrade and improved.
Well, i was not impressed.
I paid $35 over Golf Now, which was fair for the conditions.
When i called the course the day before I was told that the greens were punched about 3-4 weeks ago and are running great.
I hate it when they lie! They were punched and ran maybe an eight. Well, i should have known that $35 doesn't give you much in Miami. Not worth the trip down to Doral.

Booked this course, walked up to the clubhouse, which was not open. A maintenance worker told us that the course was closed, and has been closed for a week/will be closed for another week. Had to play an alternate course, which was not even on my want to play list. Wasted a whole day due to the inadequacies of this course posting times available when they should not have.

Having played before, found it to be in awesome shape since taken over by Trump. Greens where perfect and the conditions very good.
Played the hybrid which makes for a challenging but fun distances.

The course was in fantastic shape and the staff was phenomenal. One thing I didn't like was the practice nets. I much rather hit on a range to warm up before the round but there is no driving range on this course as it is separate from the main Doral campus. Overall the course was very challenging and a great experience and with the GolfNow deal it is affordable and a pretty good deal as the normal rates are pretty steep. Greens and fairways were in perfect shape.

Amaizing golf course with great maintenance. While in miami, it should be played.

Would play again but only at the golfnow special rate. Good conditions and friendly staff.

Probably the most difficult course at Doral.
Water in every hole, thus either you land on fairway or you go to swim...
Fantastic grass conditions and perfect greens.
If compare to other courses in Miami that cost as Doral then definitely play at Doral.
Have fun

The Good: Friendly Staff, Amazing Carts, greens and bunkers in excellent condition, and free for kids

The Bad: Tight fairways, ugly housing, ridiculously fast greens with difficult pin placements, tee boxes and fairways need better care. Water on EVERY hole, expensive snacks (1 can of soda, and 2 std candy bars were $9), Slow pace of play.

Overall - Course doesn't deserve either the Trump or Doral Names
