Spectacular Course

The Golden Palm is tough but fair. Great course all around.

Looking forward to playing again!

Great Course, Challenging

Course is narrow and hazards are in play. Decided to play from the black tees bc of the yardage (not my brightest idea). Should’ve played something closer. Course was great, facility was great too. Course requires you to hit good shots. Greens are true and fast. I would play this course again and I would recommend this to others.

Staff was horrible and greens just as bad…

I don’t usually write reviews , but I have to on this one… I’m a 10 handicap and member at biltmore where staff treats you nice and course is maintained … the silver was complete opposite … staff was mean and stuck up and greens were trash… not worth the money, I don’t care how much you got, pay to play somewhere else

Worst Greens in Miami

I don't think I have ever written a review before, but the people must know. I have been playing the Trump Doral courses for 15 years and this is by far the worst condition I have ever seen the greens in. Tee to green was solid, but once you got to the green you might as well pick up your ball. Heavy amounts of sand as well as punch holes. Beyond this there were many areas under repair on the greens. This did not look like normal greens undergoing usual maintenance. I could tell that these greens have not been running well for months. The fact that the course happily takes your steep $170 for greens that are barely playable without warning is absolutely ridiculous. Without a doubt the Silver Fox has the worst greens in Miami right now, if not in all of South Florida. DO NOT spend all that money to play hear until its fixed. Better off playing the Red Tiger or Golden Palm. Everything about the resort is great, but course condition is awful.

Great Course but Terrible Greens

Played this course several times and always enjoyed it but today the condition of the greens was terrible after recent maintenance. Front 9 greens were especially poor. Bumpy, patchy and covered in sand with many poorly repaired areas. Disappointed that the condition of the course was not highlighted on website or by staff. Definitely not worth the green fee with greens in such poor condition.

Trump Doral - Golden Palm

Had an excellent time. Greens are immaculate, bunkers were well kept, and staff was very accommodating. Pro shop is well stocked, and their selection of gear and clothing was exceptional.

outstanding

Another Trump masterpiece! This is the 5th or 6th Trump course I've played and expectations were surpassed once again. Unfortunately the Blue Monster was closed due to maintenance but the Red Tiger did not disappoint! Like MacArthur and Schwarzenegger, "I'll be baack"!!!

Silver Course

- Doral is nice and rates via Golfnow make it somewhat affordable just realize you will have to pack your clubs to get from car to pro shop. There is no signage to get from bag drop to pro shop so ask someone to guide you Everytjinh else nice

Professional

The course is set up for professional golfers. I believe you have to play the course two or three times to learn the course. After four holes I figured out how to get out of sand traps by switching wedges.I wish it was just a little bit less professional set up. But it was still fun. I made four pars.

Trump Never Disappoints

Only course left to play is the blue monster. Pro shop said red tiger is easier than golden palm I beg to differ the fairways are a lot tighter on red tiger and if you play a fade it’s extremely hard to stop the ball in the fairway before it rolls out into the water. Hit 2 balls that landed in the fairway and ended up in the water on the right side. switched to draw which I’m much less comfortable with on the back 9 and shot 40. Front nine shot 48 </3 the greens are always immaculate here. CHECK YARDAGE TO BACK OF GREENS. there are about 5 or 6 greens where if you’re even a little long it’s going off the back, potentially into water. #6 completely thru me for a loop slung a spinning 56 into the back right pin location didn’t check as much as I thought but literally almost came to a stop 3-4 feet past the hole, started rolling again and off the back of the green into the water. The par 3s are tough so if you can’t hit your irons it’s tough to score on the course and can’t use distance to make up for it. Par 5s are gettable aside from 1 that has really well protected green. Bunkers, rough, fairways & tees great condition. The greens were even better a little unreceptive as they dried out over the afternoon but this is comparatively speaking considering most courses have so much sand on the greens which soften them up. All in all id give a 8.5-10. I enjoyed the gold course more, maybe just because I played a lot better shot 81 as opposed to 88 on the tiger. But also feel like the gold

Course had more memorable holes + a finishing island green.

Why it’s not a 10: never saw a beverage cart and it was really hot out, tried to force us to valet park and then the self park lot is literally a half mile walk from the club house throw some sunburn on your shoulders and it’s a death march. And the signage was not very good as to where to go to find the next hole. Almost played the 11th or 12th hole after 17 got really confused and realized the tee boxes were to a sharp left as opposed to following the path.

Staff is amazing as always, carts are so comfortable you don’t want to get up to hit your shot. Gps. Great day at trump Doral

Red tiger

As a first time player of this course I didn’t know what to expect. Having played all the other Doral courses in the past. I hoped for the best. I was surprised and delighted with the conditions and my golf experience.

Tough Little Course

I played the golden palm 2 wks ago, figured I would give the red tiger a go. After going -2 thru 3 the wheels fell off. It was extremely hot and we didn’t see the beer cart once that’s my only gripe, it was cool that there were 6 par 5s but the 6 par 3s really made it difficult to score the wind was l2r today and if you put even a bit of fade on it u lost 15-20 yards and / or found water. The greens were amazing. The pin positions were extremely difficult today as well. Kicked my butt but I still had a great time. Trump is immaculate always red tiger doesn’t disappoint. Please just get a cart girl on the course I would have loved a bottle of water and a brewski

Worst resort experience ever on the Blue Monster

First I had to carry my clubs from the bag drop 100 yards to the starters area. Then told to walk over a get my own cart, then loaded my bag on the cart. Then told it was cart paths only ( 85 degrees, 100 percent humidity), so you had to walk 100 yards at least every time you hit your ball. By the 10 or 11 hole I was wiped out. There was large amounts of tree trimmings around several Of the tee boxes. The after completion of the round I had to carry my clubs back to the club drop, all this fun for $250. If I could talk to President Trump ( whom I love) I would say your fired.

The only redeeming moment at Trump National is when the sales lady in the Blue Monster shop tracked me down And returned a wad of cash I dropped in the shop Shout Out to you young lady!!!!
