My wife and I were at Inverrary Resort in Ft Lauderdale three January's ago, and I called to see if I could get a tee time on the Blue. Turned out one was available and we were able to play a round there. Doral is a beautiful place. Just having lunch on the veranda outside the clubhouse overlooking the Blue, with all the international flags flying is a unique experience. I'm sure all the courses are really good. Enjoy the entire experience. Incidentally, we paid $275 ea for the Blue. We paid $325 at Sawgrass the previous year, and I'd take the Monster over Sawgrass.

I too would take the Monster over TPC Sawgrass. I have played them both and the Blue Monster was the better of the two.

I will be in Miami next week for a conference and am sneeking in a round at the Red on Friday. The others had a tournament so could only get on the Red, but have heard they are all nice. The Red is $95.

I went on a cruise several years ago and spent an extra night after our return and we stayed at Doral. Because we stayed at the resort I was able to play for $150.

See if staying there gets you a better deal.

you need to get ahold of PeteG. that's his turf down there

Good suggestion. If anyone wants to join that lives in the area it is only me and I will be staying there so I can save you a buck or two. I will be playing gold the 15th and res the 16th. I wanted to make sure I did not miss some cool "historical" thing. I was going to play the blue monster but with my game, I feel that is a sub 10 handicap reward. What on site restaurant shoul we hit any other thing we should do there. We will be car less

I also agree. Though I have never played the monster, I have played Sawgrass twice and it was twice too much. Wasnt all that. TV makes it out to be more than it really is. Shame though. At least I got to scratch it off the bucket list.
