DORAL GOLF RESORT - GREAT WHITE
MIAMI, FL
One of the resort's older courses has been completely renovated (February 2000) by Greg Norman. The new "Great White" Course, primarily landscaped with tightly packed coquina sand, is the only "desert-scaped" golf course of it's kind in the Southeastern United States. The course has the only triple green in South Florida; holes 11,13 and 17 share a putting surface of 25,000-square feet. There are some terrific holes here including the 8th, a 175-yard par three with an island green. In typical Norman fashion, holes 9 and 18 are extremely difficult finishing holes. In addition, the course was designed to be environmentally friendly with natural marshes and wetlands used as draining areas. The Great White has also hosted the 2000 Franklin Templeton Shoot-Out.

05/18/2010 - Best course on the resort. Posted by Bill (Spokane Valley, WA)
11/17/2009 - first class the whole way! Posted by Jody (Lunenburg, MA)
07/21/2008 - Outside of getting rained out for the last nine holes, it was an awesome course. The whole resort is five-star. Posted by Jeff (West Hartford, CT)
03/10/2008 - Our round was interrupted by thunder and lightning storms, so we were unable to play the entire course prior to our departure. The course staff arranged for us to play 9 holes at one of the other Doral courses, so at least we got 18 holes in that day. Posted by Brian (Riverside, CT)
11/13/2006 - non descript Posted by Brad (Farmington, CT)
