Have you heard about Trump National Doral golf courses in Miami?
Dear Golfer,
If not, you’re in for a treat! Located on 800 acres of lush, rolling terrain in the heart of Miami, Trump National Doral Miami offers four championship golf courses, each designed with a different challenge and character.
The centerpiece of the four golf courses is the world-famous Blue Monster. Following its redesign, this championship course now stretches to approximately 7,590 yards and features long fairways, strategically placed deep bunkers, undulating greens, Bermuda rough and demanding water hazards. Doral hosted the PGA TOUR for 55 consecutive years and has welcomed major professional tournaments, including the World Golf Championships and LIV Golf events.
The other three courses on the property are the Golden Palm, Red Tiger and Silver Fox. The Golden Palm provides a challenging but playable championship experience. The Red Tiger is an exciting course for the average golfer while still testing more accomplished players. Despite its name, the Silver Fox should not be underestimated: water comes into play on 16 of its 18 holes, making it one of Doral’s most demanding layouts.

How to plan a Trump National Doral golf trip
- Choose your priority: Make the Blue Monster the centerpiece if playing the iconic course is the main purpose of the journey.
- Compare the complete cost: Look beyond the advertised green fee and include taxes, caddie fees, gratuities, accommodation and transportation.
- Consider twilight golf: Later tee times can reduce the green fee, although summer heat and the time available to finish should be considered.
- Check maintenance dates: South Florida courses commonly schedule agronomic work during the warmer months.
- Match the course to the group: Not every golfer needs to play the Blue Monster every day. Combining the four courses creates a more varied trip.
- Plan something beyond golf: Miami offers excellent options for a non-playing partner and for rest days between rounds.

Frequently asked questions about Trump National Doral golf
How much does it cost to play the Blue Monster?
The price changes according to the season and tee time. Published standard rates range from $395 in summer to $695 during the January–May period, before applicable taxes, caddie costs and gratuities. Always check the current daily rate for your chosen date in the booking section above.
Can non-hotel guests play the Blue Monster?
Yes. You do not necessarily have to stay at Trump National Doral to play the Blue Monster. Non-hotel guests can book available public tee times, subject to the course’s current availability, rates and booking conditions.
Is staying at Trump National Doral required to play golf?
No. Staying at the resort is not generally required to book an available tee time. However, resort guests and Stay & Play customers may receive useful booking advantages, package conditions or earlier access to selected tee times.
Can resort guests play the Blue Monster?
Yes. Resort guests can request tee times, subject to availability and the booking conditions applying to their stay or golf package.
How difficult is the Blue Monster for mid- and high-handicap golfers?
The Blue Monster is long and demanding, with deep bunkers, water hazards, Bermuda rough and challenging approach shots. Mid- and high-handicap golfers can still enjoy it by choosing suitable forward tees, accepting conservative targets and playing for position rather than attempting tournament-style shots. The goal should be to experience the course, not defeat it from the longest tees.
Which Doral course is best for average golfers?
The Red Tiger is generally the most approachable choice for an average golfer. The Blue Monster provides the iconic experience, while the Silver Fox demands careful course management because water affects play on most holes.
Is a Trump Doral Stay & Play package cheaper than booking separately?
Not always. The better option depends on the travel dates, room price, number of rounds, course selection and package inclusions. Compare the complete Stay & Play price with the combined cost of the hotel and individual tee times. A package can offer convenience and better access even when the monetary saving is modest.
How far is Trump National Doral from Miami Beach?
Trump National Doral is roughly 16 to 20 miles from Miami Beach, depending on the destination and route. Driving commonly takes around 30 to 50 minutes, but Miami traffic can make the journey considerably longer. Doral is the more convenient base for golf, while Miami Beach offers easier access to beaches, nightlife and coastal attractions.
How early should international visitors reserve Trump Doral tee times?
Reserve as early as the booking system allows, especially for the Blue Monster, weekends and the main winter and spring golf season. For an international golf trip, checking availability several weeks or months ahead provides more choice. Golf packages may allow advance planning earlier than some standalone tee-time options.
Does Trump National Doral have four golf courses?
Yes. Trump National Doral Miami offers the Blue Monster, Golden Palm, Red Tiger and Silver Fox, providing 72 holes of championship golf at one resort.
Is Trump National Doral suitable for a non-playing partner?
Yes. The resort offers a spa, pool, dining and other amenities, while Miami provides beaches, shopping, cultural districts, boat trips and Everglades excursions.
