Course Overview
Over the course of three years, famed hoteliers Alfred and Doris Kaskel turned what was swampland west of Miami into what would become one of the more challenging stops on the PGA Tour. The players were faced with length, wind and so much water that the course became known as the “Blue Monster.” The Trump Organization acquired Doral Hotel and Country Club and immediately hired Gil Hanse for a full renovation, which was completed in 2014. The course still maintains a healthy dose of challenge off the tee, yet has more interest and strategy on the approach shots and around the greens. The shin-kicking 473-yard, par-4 18th has been recognized by GOLF as one of the Top 100 Holes in the World.
