Golf Course
Five Championship Courses
THE BLUE MONSTER COURSE YARDAGE: 7288 | SLOPE / RATING: 72.2 / 125
Originally designed by noted architect Dick Wilson, the Blue Monster Course has been modified and updated over the past 20 years to meet the demands of the PGA TOUR by three-time Doral champion and Hall-of-Famer Raymond Floyd and world-renowned golf instructor Jim McLean. Most recently the greens and bunkers were modernized under the watchful eye of the PGA Tour for the WGC-CA Championship, first played at Doral Golf Resort & Spa in 2007.
THE GREAT WHITE YARDAGE: 6679 | SLOPE / RATING: 71.7 / 130
A Greg Norman Signature Course, this course is unique in using coquina – crushed shells – as its primary design element. Strategically demanding fairways amidst hundreds of palm trees and water coming into play on 14 holes make this both a challenging and picturesque course. In 2000, the course hosted the PGA TOUR’s Franklin Templeton “Shoot-Out” and was rated the best new golf course of the year by the National Golf Foundation.
THE GOLD COURSE YARDAGE: 6209 | SLOPE / RATING: 70.7 / 124
PGA Tour legend Raymond Floyd recently redesigned this course to follow a traditional Florida layout, incorporating gently contoured greens, strategic bunkering and water surrounding 16 holes. The course features narrow, tree-lined fairways and finishes with a dramatic par-4 island green on the 18th hole. The Gold Course hosted the 1999 PGA Qualifying School finals.
THE RED COURSE YARDAGE: 6058 | SLOPE / RATING: 69.9 / 118
The Red Course forces golfers to employ strategy and shot placement, rather than relying on driving for show. Featuring 14 water holes with fairways winding around several lakes, the course provides breathtaking beauty and exhilarating challenges, without intimidating length. This course hosted the LPGA in 2001 for the Office Depot Championship.
THE SILVER COURSE
Currently closed for renovation, the Silver course will be ready to play in 2009 with an exciting new design from golf legend Jim McLean. Every green and hole on the course is being remodeled to improve playability and provide a greater challenge for players. The Silver Course hosted the 1999 PGA Qualifying School finals.
