Lives up the the Trump name! USA! MAGA!

From the second you arrive on the property you know you’re in for a great day. It’s $10 for parking, BUT you get unlimited range balls before your round with an amazing target selection and turf (no mats!) also a great short game area with balls provided. The layout of the course is very interesting from the 1st green on you know you’re in for a challenge. #10 is very tricky hit what I thought was a solid 4 iron ended up rolling out of the fairway into the water. (And that’s why I never lay up lol) a lot of forced carries over water so if you can’t get the ball up don’t play here. Greens were perfect a little on the unreceptive side for long irons in just trap it a little more and get that extra spin if you can! 18 is an absolute perfect ending hole. Wish there was a snack bar or something at the turn. Got to the 9th hole expected to grab a couple glizzys and some brews and found just the 10th tee. But, really not an issue at all. Can’t wait to be back.

Upscale course with downscale services

I played the Golden Palm followed by the Blue Monster a couple of days later. Both courses are nice, the Golden Palm was a better value. Where the resort falls short is with their amenities. To be fair I was aware of this from reading previous reviews, but I will share my experience. First, there isn't a bag drop near the cart area and they charge $10 to park your car that requires a shuttle to the cart area with your bags (gratuity expected). The start was okay and with a very nice practice area. The real rub was after finishing the Blue Monster on the second day, we were expecting a shuttle from the cart area to the area where another shuttle takes you to the parking area. We were told we would have to carry our bags to the parking lot shuttle which was several hundred yards away. My playing partner commented that he was 70 and didn't want to carry his bag and accessories that far. The response was pretty much, sorry but you have to carry your bags (after the first round we did have someone shuttle us to the parking lot pick up point). Once we got to the parking lot pick up point, there was no shuttle. After waiting for 5+ minutes in the heat, we got frustrated and walked to the parking lot. Based on this experience, we will likely not be returning to play here again.

Nice track, worth playing.

Pricey, but this is an excellent course for a special occasion. The conditions were excellent and the greens were lightning fast.

A golf resort.

There are 4 or 5 courses at Trump National. Great place to play 36 and have lunch. Or stay for a few days with buddies. Was not very busy the day I played, but all facilities and conditions were top notch. I will be back.

Pleasantly surprised

I was very pleasantly surprised with the Red Tiger course at Doral. First, all the staff were very courteous and helpful, contrary to some of the reviews I had read. Yes, you have to pay $10 to park, which is kind of silly, but there's a cart that shuttles you to the clubhouse which is not really that close. The pro-shop, the starter, the cart driver, everyone isreally nice. As per the course, it's in beautiful shape. There's an army of gardeners that works on it and it shows. The layout is challenging but does offer scoring opportunities. Definitely a great golfing destination.

Trump National...More Sizzle then Steak

Played Trump National today while the course is decent we played gold the GPS in the cart was off by 10-15 yards on average per hole. The greens were fast and hard but that’s fine. The staff for the most part wasn’t overt friendly. The beverage cart only takes credit card or room charge which I don’t get. Plenty of driving between some holes and not always great direction. For a trump course and Doral I felt there was more sizzle then steak
