Can You Play Doral Blue Monster on Awesome Golf? Here’s How

Doral Blue Monster is the course that defined Florida golf for decades. The Blue Monster hosted the Doral Open for over 50 years before the LIV Golf takeover. The 18th hole with the water carry down the entire left side is one of the most famous finishing holes in American golf.

On Awesome Golf, the Blue Monster is a solid addition to the library. The course plays long — 7,500 yards from the tips — and the wind is a constant factor. The water hazards are everywhere. The greens are Bermuda grass, which means they are fast and firm.

How It Plays on Awesome Golf

The 18th hole is the headline. A 470-yard par 4 with water down the entire left side. The tee shot needs to be a fade that starts at the left edge of the fairway and works back to the center. The approach is to a green guarded by water on the left and bunkers on the right. On Awesome Golf, the water hazard is rendered correctly. The carry is accurate. The pressure is real.

The rest of the course is a mix of risk-reward par 5s, long par 4s, and water hazards that come into play on 12 of the 18 holes. The Blue Monster is not the most subtle course in the world. It is a brute force test that rewards power and punishes mistakes.

The greens are Bermuda. On Awesome Golf, the Bermuda grain affects putts the way it should. Putts from the south break more than putts from the north because the grain grows toward the sun. The green speed is consistent but fast.
