DONALD TRUMP UNVEILS BRAND NEW RED TIGER AT TRUMP NATIONAL DORAL
MIAMI, FL (January 12, 2015) – Donald J. Trump announced today the completion of the brand new Red Tiger golf course at Trump National Doral, Miami. Situated on over 800-acres in the heart of Miami, Donald Trump has totally transformed and rebuilt the iconic Doral Golf Resort. Investing over $350-million dollars in this spectacular project. Trump National Doral is now the finest golf resort in the United States. Mr. Trump has fully redesigned each of its four championship golf courses including the world renowned Blue Monster, home of the WGC – Cadillac Championship and awarded by Golf Magazine as “Best Renovation of the year - and possibly ever.”
“Three years ago, when I signed the contract to purchase Doral, I promised to make it the finest golf resort anywhere in the country and the Red Tiger is another dramatic representation of that,” said Donald J. Trump, Chairman and President of the Trump Organization. “The Red Tiger is a truly wonderful and exciting resort course and can be played by golfers of all skill levels.”
The Red Tiger is set on 120 acres of contoured fairways over sand based land, an incredibly unique and rare trait. While the goal of every tee shot should be to take advantage of the magnificent fairways, the subtle undulation of the small-scaled greens requires daring accuracy. White-sand bunkers guarding the greens, dramatic mounding and swales surrounding the putting surfaces highlight the beauty of the course. There is an abundance of water framing the fairways with water hazards coming into play on 17 of the 18 holes. The Red course received its namesake from the late, great, Jackie Gleason, who loved golf and was based in Miami, when he got “beat up” so badly during a round after which, he called the course the Red Tiger.
Gil Hanse of Hanse Golf Design said, “The completion of the Red Tiger is representative of the entire transformation Trump National Doral has undergone. Working with Mr. Trump has been very exciting and I’m thrilled with the final results of both the Red Tiger and Blue Monster courses.”
In addition to the four brand new courses, the practice facility has also seen a major transformation. The driving range is five times its original size and the entire space now features an LED lighting system, the first of its kind in the world, which allows for practice well into the night. Trump National Doral also includes the TaylorMade Performance Lab and Jim McLean Golf School.
The resort is home to a 7,000-square-foot Golf Shop, the largest in the country, with the latest in equipment, accessories and apparel for men, women and juniors. The shop has launched many top golf brands and carries exclusive products available only at Trump Doral including the coveted Blue Monster private label collection.
With 701 guest rooms and suites, 100,000 square feet of meeting and event spaces located throughout the property with five Luxury Ballrooms, including the brand new Donald J. Trump Ballroom, Florida’s finest pool facility and the popular BLT Prime Restaurant, Trump National Doral is the ultimate destination and the country’s most magnificent golf resort.
Guests can now tee it up at the all-new Red Tiger, Great White and Blue Monster courses while enjoying deluxe guestroom accommodations and the finest luxury amenities of any golf resort in the country.
