Exceeded expectations

This is a good place in general. Probably got lucky but played in 2.5 hours by myself. Record pace and played the tips. Not an easy track. Greens were lightning and near too perfect. (Putt from below the pin for birdie and miss the cup and it rolls back further than where i started) Will go back. It was a treat.

Fun time

Nice course - pretty good challenge. Front nine lulls you to sleep and the back nine hits hard. I would recommend.

Poorly Managed

The first time in my life I had to pay to park at a course. Then humped our bags around 300 yards to the Pro Shop which was difficult to find due to poor signage. Also, The Donald needs to send his staff to charm school because they were less than helpful or respectful. They just look at you waiting for you to ask a question.

It's a great layout. The course was in good condition with fast greens.

Great layout, but a very expensive course

The course conditions are great and the layout is pretty awesome. Basically it boils down to price and that is something that many golfers are okay with and to others it is an issue. These courses are legendary on their own way and they are definitely worth playing once in a while.

One suggestion I would make is to the fact that there isn't a good way to drop you clubs and then park either way you have to wait for the shuttle which nobody tells you exists or walk all the way from self parking to the golf shop. Since valet parking is still pretty far from the golf shop. Those are trivial things but for the price it could be better accommodated.

Awesome greens

Expensive, but all of Doral’s courses are in perfect condition. Silver course has a lot of water, but is still one of my favorites. The greens don’t get any better.

Nice Course on a Not So Nice day

To be perfectly fair about this review, it's the first time I've played this particular course and the conditions were less than ideal. To say it was windy is an understatement. That said I did not play particularly well so hopefully it doesn't sound like that is part of my review.Here is my observations: The staff were super friendly and helpful. Not sure why the starter had me wait for over an hour for my exact tee time as I was a single and the tee box was empty 40-50% of the time. Maybe it's rules, I don't know. Tee boxes to greens very good. Lots of water and with the wind it was near impossible to judge your shots (not that I'm that good a golfer). Played the Golden Palm a couple of years ago in better conditions so I shot better and was more receptive to a more positive review. Took a 2 1/2 hr. ride down because I got a good deal through GN and to be perfectly frank, there are some courses up around me that are better and a lot less expensive. Still, it was Trump and I hope I get the opportunity to play this one again under better conditions. The price is out of my league so unless a good deal comes along it may be a long time until I get that chance. I hope this helped.
