As you've probably figured out by now, I do a LOT of golfing! Because I get to see a lot of courses and play a lot of greens, I've decided to have a do keep an official reviews page for all the courses I play.
Here's a quick breakdown of my ratings system: |

So this week I was able to go to Florida and play some famous PGA tour stops on my trip. The first course I got to play was Doral, Home of the Ford Championship. I must say I was really looking forward to playing here, because of the famous 18th hole called the "Blue Monster." It is the hardest hole on the PGA tour because its so long and tough to birdie. Needless to say I didn't birdie par or even bogey the hole. It was really tough.
Here's a look at my afternoon at the Doral Golf Course.... |

Here I am at Dorail in Miami, Fla. Tiger Woods won here this year.
|
This is the opening hole at Doral, a tough par 4.
|
Here is the first Par 3 of the day. I got a 5.
|
This is an awesome par 5 that I just bombed right down the middle. This hole still kicked my ass.
|
This is me at the par 3 16th hole. I threw this picture in to make me look slimmer. I didn't work.
|
This is the famed "Blue Monster," number 18, the hardest hole on the PGA Tour. |
This is where my ball ended up.

1 ball, Terrible!!!!!!!!! They told us that they were trying to get the rye out of the greens and over seeded and almost lost all the greens. To bad they still charged us full price.

To play the Blue Monster course you have to stay at the resort so thanks employed roommate, I don't think it is really worth the price they charged but I didn't have to pay.

2.5 balls, not bad, but not a course I will ever go out of my way to play again. It was fun, but the greens kind of killed the whole experience.
