The PGA TOUR has stopped at many golf courses throughout the years, but few have earned the level of respect from professional golfers like the Blue Course at Doral Golf Resort and Spa. In 1996, Raymond Floyd took over the task of restoring the course to its former stature. Then during the summer of 1999, Jim McLean restored the bunkers to the original Dick Wilson design. The goal for both Floyd and McLean was to put the bite back in the Blue Monster and to make it one of the finest courses on the PGA TOUR. There is definitely a total commitment to provide a great venue. Many of the top players in the world compete each year at the Ford Championship, not only because of the strong field of players that it attracts but also because of the many challenges the course offers. The following hole-by-hole descriptions detail the layout of this beast golf course, lovingly referred to as, the Blue Monster.
Water continues to be the most feared hazard on The Blue Monster. But what makes the Blue Monster such a great course is what Ben Crenshaw describes as a straightforward playability in all conditions. "To play well here, a player has to have all the shots," he says. "It's critical to be able to work the ball here."
Nothing has changed, in that sense, with Raymond Floyd's restoration. "Dick Wilson designed a golf course with great balance," says Floyd. "There are as many holes where you have to play a draw as a fade. There are long par 4s and short par 4s. There are long par 3s and short par 3s. There are par 5s you can reach in two shots, and the 12th is just about unreachable -- even by Tiger Woods or John Daly."
