Rating 74.9

The Silver Fox Course (formerly known as Jim McLean Course) is one of five 18-hole courses at Trump National Doral Miami. The courses offer a good game for players of any skill level. Unlike the Gold Course at the resort, the Silver Fox Course does not follow a traditional Floridian layout. There are elevated tee boxes and greens and narrow, rolling fairways. The golf course features an interesting variety of holes, short and long. Water hazards come into play on 16 holes of the 18 holes and there are also bunkers situated throughout. The course's signature hole is the 14th, which has an island green.

Should have been more for the money

The course itself is first rate. It was in great condition. It is a well laid out challenging course. But for the money it cost there should have been more than just the course. The cart girl should have been around more than just twice...once on hole number 1 and then at the next to last hole. There were no rest rooms on the second nine. There were plenty of trees to accommodate the guys but female players were just flat out of luck. Not what you would expect from a high class golfing venue. Since the first hole of this course is so far (about 1.5 miles) from the club house there should have been some kind of half way house to get something to drink and eat. There was nothing available without driving the 1.5 miles back to the clubhouse.. Also, you shouldn't have to pay this much to play and still have to spend $20 parking. And the parking was so far from the clubhouse that walking was not really an option. Fortunately, a shuttle just happened by that took me from the parking area to the club house and a very nice attendant was able to drive me back to my car after play. The staff I interacted with were all very friendly and helpful.

Score Card

My first time playing the Silver Fox and got all the way to the first tee (10 Min away) and didn’t have a score card. There were none at the 1st tee, the cart girl didn’t have one so I had to use a scrap of paper.

Very disappointing for such an expensive course.

Valet parking fees on top of greens fees?!!!

Paid almost $200 for Sulver course. Was shocked to find out I got charged another $32 for the valet parking fee. They never disclosed that when I pulled. Up. MAGA!!

Lofty Prices

We played the Silver, and have played all courses on this terrific golf property. The staff is great, course layouts and condition excellent. Pace of play only 4 rating because the front nine was very fast and back was choppy and slow. But it was only a three and half hour round. In my opinion the prices are too high and need to come down to more reasonable numbers. Then you get hit with a $32.00 parking fee which makes it even less palatable. With consideration to lower pricing, and perhaps parking validation to reduce parking in half, the place is a gem and highly recommend the Silver and all courses here. The property and its amenities are top shelf from pro shop to grill room to locker rooms. Have stayed and played at Doral for over 30 years, doing several customer outings with PGA touring pros to give clinics, play a few holes and join us for lunch. It’s always been a great place. But since Trump bought it there have been major improvements in customer service, the bridging of the Silver so you can sign in at the standard starter area, grab your cart and drive it thru the property over a bridge to the first tee. Originally you had to drive your car out of the property about two miles to Doral Park. Lastly, the entire facility is kept immaculate.

Nice overall

Golf cart kept shutting off when not even exceeding the cart speed limit. We were told the beverage cart would be around and never saw it once. Played Silver Fox course which is a distance from the clubhouse so 2 waters is not enough and the course is so far from the clubhouse that driving to it during the round was not an option to get more. Clubhouse is probably the nicest I have ever been in and the staff was unbelievably nice. I would recommend this course just pack a lunch.

Good but no halfway house! Beware!!

Great course but if you go there thinking you can get dog at the turn, think again. It’s a no man’s land on the silver fox course. The golden and blue monster are 10/10 but this was a 8/10. Still good, but not great.

Great course, conditions were awesome. If you aren’t doing valet parking the self parking situation can be a little confusing once you’ve parked. But overall the course is amazing and it’s definitely worth the money

Very good experience

The course is in fantastic condition. Greens are in perfect shape, as are the fairways. A lot of water hazards, what makes the course beautiful and challenging, but not in a way that hurts your score. Impressive club house and pro shop. Friendly staff. Overall a great experience, Only negative was the valet parking. Not friendly and charged me US 32 for a 5 hour period. Better park your car yourself.
