Blue Monster at Trump National Doral

This course, aptly titled the “Blue Monster,” is 7,590 yards long and has a variety of water hazards that are guaranteed to catch a few golf balls. The course was redesigned in 2014, with each hole resculpted and developed into the modern-day beauties that they are now.
