Caddie's Summary:. Doral is well known and established as a great golf resort. Offering all amenities and five beautiful courses. The GOLD Course is one of the best for all ranges of golfers. Although there is plenty of water and some very difficult signature shots (such as the approach to the island green at 18), the course plays well to medium handicappers. Water comes into play, mostly just off fairways, on 16 of the 18 holes. The design is a traditional Florida layout with the extra touch of some heavily sloped and undulating greens. With the greens rolling fast, the GOLD course plays several strokes more difficult, but normally, the maintenance team has it in condition for a less-stressful play. Nature-lovers will enjoy the diverse array of birds and water life.
