I played the redesigned Doral Red Tiger this morning. I thought Hanse did a really nice job with it. The course has smallish, undulating greens, and well placed (and executed) bunkering. There is quite a bit of water but it is all pretty avoidable - I am not exactly the most accurate player, but I didn't lose a ball all day...up until 18, when I caught my approach to the island-ish green a little heavy from one of the fairway bunkers and it ended up in the drink. The course is also in pristine condition, especially the greens. The only "complaint" I can think of is there is a long, somewhat awkward walk from 17 green to 18 tee. But my overall impression was that the course was a shorter, sportier version of the Blue Monster (which I like very much), or for another comparison, a south Florida version of Siwanoy.
Sorry, no photo tour, though others will do a better job than me on that front anyway.
Based on what I've seen at Blue and Red, I hope to give the other Hanse designed/rediesigned courses there (the Golden Palm and Silver Fox) a try as well. I am no Trump fanboy (don't get me started on his Pinehurst comments) but Doral is shaping up to be a really first rate facility with several excellent courses from which to choose. Not a bad option for mid January!
I would love to hear the thoughts of anyone else who has also played the Red (and would encourage people to give it a try).
