Doral Golf
Resort The
Blue Monster - Dick Wilson Design
7125 yd. - Par 72
The Blue
Monster, home of the 2007 WGC-CA Championship, has hosted
prestigious PGA Tour events 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.

The Great White
Course - Greg Norman Design
7171 yd. - Par 72
A Greg Norman
Signature Course, the 7,171-yard, par-72 Great White Course is the
only golf course of its kind in the Southeastern United States
that utilizes coquina -- crushed shells -- as the primary design
element on every hole. In designing the Great White, Norman
blended strategically demanding fairways with hundreds of palm
trees and sporadic Scottish-style bunkers. He then laid out the
course in a manner where water comes into play on 14 of the 18
holes, which makes for a challenging, but picturesque Great White
Golf Course. Host to the PGA Tour’s Franklin Templeton
“Shoot-Out” in 2000, the Great White was rated as the best new
golf course of 2000 by the National Golf Foundation. |

traditional Florida layout, incorporating gently contoured greens,

PGA Qualifying School finals. |

The Red Course
6146 yd. - Par 70
The Red

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. |
