DORAL GOLF RESORT - BLUE MONSTER
MIAMI, FL
Since 1962, Doral's Blue course has been the home of the PGA TOUR event now known as the World Golf Championships-CA Championship. Famous worldwide as the "Blue Monster," the original Dick Wilson design has undergone many changes through the years. The course now stretches to 7,288 yards from the championship tees and features water as a hazard on more than half the holes. It's long and tough with beautiful TifEagle Bermuda greens, which provide year-round optimal turf conditions and create firm fast putting surfaces. So if you find yourself in South Florida, be sure to play at least one round on the Blue Monster!
