Doral Silver Fox
Par: 70 Length: 7100 yards Course designer: Jim McLean
|
Jim McLean is one of the world’s top golf instructors and has long had an association with Doral Golf Resort - his on-site golf school is entering its 19th year in 2010. Jim kindly agreed in 2009 to put his name to resort’s newest course, formerly the Silver Course, which re-opened in November 2009 as the “Jim McLean Signature Course” following an extensive redesign.
The course joins the infamous Blue Monster and the Great White as the third of Doral’s premier courses. The first 3 holes represent a challenging start by any standards – par 4s each measuring around 500 yards from the tips!
“The Bermuda Triangle” loop of holes 13 to 15 are the Amen corner of the McLean Signature – which includes the island green par 3, 14th.
Five sets of tees makes the course very playable for all levels of player. The course is located just a short shuttle ride from the main Doral resort – unlike the other 4 courses (Blue, White, Red & Gold) which are all walk-on courses from your accommodation.
