Doral Resort

BLUE MONSTER
Course description Home of the Ford Championship at Doral, the Blue Monster has hosted the prestigious PGA Tour event for the past 40 years. In fact, virtually every great name in golf has had a moment of glorious personal triumph on this world-class track. Originally designed by Dick Wilson, and later restored by Raymond Floyd, golfers won't find a more challenging or spectacular golf course. At 7,125 yards from the tournament tees, and with a series of strategically placed bunkers, both length and finesse are needed to score well on this historic course. The Blue Monster features long fairways, undulating green, a deep Bermuda rough and a unique assortment of water hazards. The famous 18th hole, with its signature fountain, was ranked by GOLF Magazine as one of the Top 100 Holes in the World.

GOLD
Course description 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. This course hosted the 1999 PGA Qualifying School finals.
THE GREAT WHITE

Course description In 2000, Greg Norman, a three-time winner at Doral, designed this innovative course, which is the only "desert-scape" golf course of its kind in the Southeastern United States. This desert-style layout blends strategically demanding fairways with thousands of palm trees and sporadic Scottish-style pot bunkers. Water is a factor on 14 of 18 holes on the Great White Course, which was host to the PGA TOUR’s Franklin Templeton “Shoot-Out” in 2000, and was rated as the best new golf course of 2000 by the National Golf Foundation.

THE RED
Course description The Red Course forces golfers to use strategy and shot placement, rather than driving for show. Featuring 14 water holes with fairways winding around several lakes, the course provides breath-taking beauty and exhilarating challenges, without intimidating length. This course hosted the LPGA in 2001 for the Office Depot Championship.

SILVER
Course description Breaking away from a Florida-style layout, golf legend Jerry Pate redesigned the Silver Course to include narrow, rolling fairways, raised tee boxes and elevated greens. The Silver offers a diverse mix of short and long holes throughout the course, with water coming into play on 16 holes. Designed for all levels of championship play, and featuring a signature 14th hole island green, the Silver Course hosted the 1999 PGA Qualifying School finals.
