As you arrive at Doral, lush landscaping and a clubhouse that resembles a stretched version of the White House greets you. While some posh clubs treat you with little emotion, the bag drop attendants warmly welcomed me, quickly spotting my name on a bag tag and explained to me where to go to check in and options for grabbing a bite to eat. The practice range was complimentary and large and accommodated 25+ golfers. There was a convenient chipping green and a large putting green with greens that rolled like the real course. The starter and club house employees were attentive and friendly.

On the Red Tiger course, the grounds keepers stopped and waited patiently and quietly; every one acted as though we were the only ones on the course that day. The course is world class in February, fairway was lush and green, bunkers were well groomed, greens rolled well. I have begun putting together a golf weekend with friends at Doral for next winter.
