Trump National Doral Miami (Red Tiger)

Overview: Red Tiger is one of the four championship courses at Trump National Doral Miami. The current course emerged from the renovation of the former Red Course, with the Gil Hanse design team reshaping the routing and its playing features for a more contemporary resort test. At 6,412 yards and par 72 in the directory card, it is shorter than the famous Blue Monster but still relies on water, bunkering and exact approaches. The South Florida setting is carefully landscaped, yet the course retains the broad, strategic scale associated with Doral.

History: Doral’s golf story reaches back to the resort’s earlier championship era, but the current Red Tiger identity belongs to the major renovation period after the Trump Organization acquired the property in 2012. The resort’s history records the renovation of all four championship courses, while the official Red Tiger page specifically credits the Gil Hanse design team with the dramatic change to the Red layout. It is best described as a renovated routing rather than a wholly unrelated new course.

Did You Know? The Red Tiger name was given by Jackie Gleason, according to the resort’s official course description. That detail connects the modern course to Miami’s entertainment history and explains why the name sounds more like a stage persona than a conventional geographic label.
