Presently, I think Doral is

An update from Ron Whitten via Twitter (https://twitter.com/RonWhittenGD):

*   Just finished tour of Doral Blue Monster. Jim Wagner & Gil Hanse did an outstanding job. Entirely new golf course with Dick Wilson flair.

*   Jim says Trump was great to work with/for, understands golf, can visualize.

*   Doral Blue Monster will now have water in play on three of last four holes. Iconic 18th is least changed hole on course.

*   What players will see at Doral next year: contours, ridge lines, hills, better visibility but some deception. More character.

*   Most of Doral is grown in, will be ready (for the tournament). No island green, tho The Donald insists on calling par 3 15th peninsula an island.
