Windy Challenge

This course is in great shape. Under normal conditions you have to hit good shots. Bring your ‘A’ game when it’s windy.

Trump National Doral Silver Fox - don’t bother

This was my first trip to Trump National Doral and what a disappointment. Way over rated, over priced and I was hugely underwhelmed. Course condition - I’ve played plenty of munis that where in far better condition. Greens were good rolled pretty true but the rest of the course average at best. Price - way overpriced for what you get. Keep your expectations low and you’ll still be disappointed.

Service & Staff - the golf staff was unfriendly and not helpful. The best staff members were the girls in the marketplace, cart and bar.

If you can play here for $50 it might be worth it. Otherwise play somewhere else.

It’s ok.

Nice greens. Lots of water. Bev cart once in 4+ hrs. Understaffed it seemed. I would pay $120 tops for Red Tiger.

Trump’s Golf World

Every time I play @ one of the 4 courses at Doral, it is a special day. The practice facilities are excellent, course is incredibly maintained.

A fantastic experience

Muni Course

$10 to self park your car

Bag drop off w/ no racks or attendants

Not orderly at starters booth

Silver course is a 15 minute cart ride away

Have to cross 2 very busy roads

Told to carry our bags back to our car

I refused (1/4 mile away)

Cart that finally carried us dropped our bags

Horrible experience !

Fantastic design for flat terrain

The Blue Monster offers a fantastic layout for flat terrain. The holes feature many hazards, either lakes or sand traps (I was in 9 bunkers). However the bunkers are firm and very fair for hitting to the green. The course has several tee options - my playing partner tried the black tees and he commented on the long par 3s. From a few tees up tees the course still is on the long side but playable. The greens were rolling true and fast despite being sanded. The fairways were perfect, the best I've encountered in Florida in a while. The only complaint was the parking and club drop off. Despite very expensive green fees the parking lot attendant charged us $10 to self park, that seems like overt greed considering the green fees. And then the parking lot was a long hike to the golf pro shop and the shuttle bus was non-existent. Despite wind and rain which made the course tough, we enjoyed the round. Even though it is great course the value for $ was not there. Streamsong, Copperhead or other Florida courses offer better value.

Always love playing Doral. Able to book and play Red, Gold, and Silver on Golfnow. Someday I’ll play Blue Monster, but for now prefer Hot Deals on other three courses.
