The Golden Palm Course

at Trump National Doral Miami

Location: Miami | Style: Resort / Parkland | Par: 72 | Redesigned: 2017 | Length: approx. 7,000 yards

The Golden Palm Course at Trump National Doral offers a refined and highly enjoyable contrast to the resort’s more demanding championship layouts. Redesigned by renowned architect Gil Hanse in 2017, the course blends strategic shot-making with a more forgiving, player-friendly design, making it ideal for a wide range of golfers.

Hanse’s redesign focused on improving playability while enhancing visual appeal, introducing wider fairways, thoughtful bunkering, and subtly contoured greens. Water hazards still feature throughout the layout, but they are used more strategically than relentlessly, rewarding smart decisions rather than simply penalising mistakes. The course flows naturally through the landscape, with immaculate conditioning and excellent sightlines creating a relaxed yet engaging round.

Course highlights

• Player-friendly design – Wider fairways and accessible green complexes make the course enjoyable for golfers of all abilities.
• Gil Hanse redesign – A 2017 renovation modernised the layout while improving strategy, flow, and aesthetics.
• Strategic water features – Water hazards are thoughtfully placed to test decision-making without overwhelming the round.
• Resort conditioning – Excellent fairways and smooth greens maintained to a consistently high standard year-round.

Signature Holes

One of the standout holes on the Golden Palm Course is the par-4 8th. Featuring water guarding the approach and bunkering that frames the green beautifully, it demands accuracy without excessive length. A confident tee shot sets up a testing approach to a well-protected green, making it a memorable and visually impressive hole.
