Save your money and play a real course

The biggest let down I've ever had... Just an awful and pretentious experience. I'm no stranger to theatrics of wealth on golf courses but this place takes the cake. Most expensive round I've ever played just to have nearly zero amenities on course. First off, the course is in Miami and there is NO WATER ON THE COURSE, this is maybe the cheapest and most idiotic measure I've ever seen. The club is particularly money hungry, scheduling tee times when there is no way the round could be completed(e.g. 4:40pm Tee time when sunset is at 6:20pm)... and of course they don't accept a raincheck of any kind during this scenario. The course itself is easy, short and lacks any creativity. Oh and don't forget all the random people who walk on the course to enjoy their day at your expense, truly unbelievable. If you have played this course and enjoyed your experience, you are genuinely a sucker and a massive one at that. This establishment represents all that is wrong with golf. Golfers just want to get on and play when its a gorgeous day outside, not be encumbered by baseless theatrics and boring old men who think they're better than everyone else while they play their 12 hour round for $500. Come to Tennessee where we know how to take care of our golf courses AND customers.

Over Priced and Underperformed

You’re paying for the name. $700 total after fore caddie fees and the tip (which are mandatory at $30 even for underperformance as my very unenthusiastic, and lethargic fore caddie pointed out). It’s gorgeous but it’s not worth the price nor the prestige it thinks it deserves. Three other courses here are still over priced but in just as good, if not better, shape for half of what you pay (or more) for the Blue Fraudster. Disappointed to say the least.

Overall a good experience. Disappointed with the fact that the yardage displayed on the cart GPS was wrong for 50% of the holes, and that they charged $32 to park my car.

Solid course, but not worth the price

This is a good golf course, well maintained, but not really exceptional. Many better choices for the price paid—you are paying for the Trump label, and not much more. Cart service came by once during the round, and pace of play was fine—until we caught a foursome that was struggling.

Nice clubhouse and friendly staff.

Excellent course

Had lots of fun playing. Yardage from black tees seemed much further that what was on the scorecard. I liked Red Tiger as much as Blue Monster.

Wind tunnel golf

Very windy day on a great golf course. We played 36 that day. Guys we were with wanted to buy Blue Monster gear but they close the Blue Monster pro shop at 4????? Seems silly to have it separate from one of the best pro shops ever. Huge selection and square footage. Should have built the Blue Monster shop connecting to main pro shop. Course was great. We played in 4 hours. Perfect

Greens were recently aerated and sanded without any prior warning

Greens were recently punched and covered in sand with no warning. The starter also allowed a 5some to tee off in front of our 4some. If I would have known the greens were recently aerated and sanded I would not have booked and paid for a 200 tee time. RIP OFF, but I should’ve know I’d be scammed at a trump property

Hidden Gem

We were pleasantly surprised. It was quite a long cart ride to this course from the beautiful clubhouse. It took us almost 10 minutes to get to the first tee so leave a little extra time. The course has a great layout but it is a bit tight. Nice amount of water and sand kept it challenging. Great greens! A worthwhile investment.
