As a member, I only pay a cart fee. At that price the courses are worthwhile. As a guest paying the "retail" fee, I would feel disappointed at best and badly overcharged during the "season". There are five courses. The White which was challenging to the point that they just re-did it to make several degrees easier and went too far in removing all excitement from the course. The Red and Gold are nice standard courses. The Silver is closed for a year's renovation which it badly needed due to years of poor maintenance. The Blue Monster just isn't a monster any more. It is an okay course for a resort but not the spectacular course that Doral would like you think it is. Outside of the Pro Shop any of the staff will admit that the Blue is over-priced, over-played, over-hyped and under-maintained. It just isn't worth the money they charge. For a golf experience that is worthwhile go to Crandon Park on Key Biscayne and play a truly enjoyable and different track. Similar Courses Played:
Any course, anywhere. The courses would all qualify as well-maintained munis.

doral is a nice place to play during the
peak season. Peak season (nov-may) is
when the courses are in their best shape.
Do not waste your time playing here during the summer. Notice I said nice and not "great". best course is the blue and the red. most challenging is the gold. Customer Service:
average. cart girls are nice and so are
the starters and the guys at the bag drop. The pro shop guys can be plain rude at times. If customer service is what you are looking for, go to vegas or
scottsdale.

I have read the reviews that for the most part trash Doral and I am a bit mystified. 8 guys went down from NY on a 4 day package the first weekend of April, which is technically off season pricing. The cost was comparable to PGA Village in Port St Lucie or Wild Dunes in Charleston and Doral was every bit as enjoyable. We found the courses (especially the Blue) challenging, fun and interesting. The White was the only questionable layout in my opinion (a pale imitation of the Dye Course at PGA Village), but some of the guys liked it. Doral is a beautiful resort and if you wait for a good package price, can be enjoyed for a reasonable, competitive cost. Being in Miami gave us great entertainment options as well. Customer Service:
Excellent Similar Courses Played:
Nice Health Facility, practice facilities are good, not great. Adequate to warm up. Jim Mclean School facilities at the other end of range might be better. We did not have time to take advantage of it.

This is a review of the White course ONLY. My favorite course I have ever played, fantastic. Teed off at day break and had a great round. Desert set up was new to me at the time and I really enjoyed the experience.

| | Reviewed by: MikeBov, Shoots in the 70s, from Calgary, Alberta Canada Summary:
Played this course a couple of years ago. When I called the pro shop, the guy tried to talk me out of playing the Blue Monster. He said it was too hard. Well, after 15 holes I was two over par and found the course to be a bit of a joke. The conditions were "ok", but nothing to write home about. The layout was nice. The couse is way way over priced. Customer service from the time you drove up to the pro-shop was snob-city. Will never return. The people who run and work at Doral could learn a few things from the folks at Reflection Bay in Las Vegas. Those folks know customer service. The cost was about the same, and the experience was completely different. They made me feel like "King Golfer" for a day at Reflection Bay in Vegas. I can't wait to go back to Reflection Bay. Sorry, I digressed. Doral is a huge waste of time and money. Customer Service:
Snobby. Similar Courses Played:
There are much better courses (without the name of course), which are better for less.
