Doral Blue Monster

Cadillac Championship Lines

Doral is called the Blue Monster because when it first was built back in 1960, people said that Alfred Kaskel was creating a “monster” in the middle of a swamp. When the course opened, it was known as the “Blue” course. With its swirling winds, water hazards and tough play, it soon became known as the “Blue Monster.”

The Blue Monster was designed by Dick Wilson design and later reworked by Raymond Floyd, the Blue Monster has been hosting PGA Tour events for more than 40 years. The 7,125-yard course is known for its long fairways, undulating greens, thick rough and strategic bunkers.

With its frequent star turns on television, the Blue Monster overshadows its Doral siblings, the Gold, Red, Silver and Great White courses. While all offer excellent golf, only the Great White, named for designer Greg Norman, is mentioned in the same breath as the Blue. Also topping 7,000 yards, its difficulty wins fans and detractors in equal number.

The four “other” Doral courses share some common factors. One is water: The drink is a factor on most of the 72 holes. Another is distraction. Planes buzz overhead on route to the airport, and the Silver, Gold and Red snake course.
