Blue Monster at Doral to be closed most of summer

I hope you weren’t planning to play the Blue Monster at Doral this summer. The course will be closed May, June and July for renovations. It is scheduled for re-opening Sept. 1.

Officials are re-grassing of all 18 greens, as well as the practice putting green, with TifEagle Bermuda. The course is also undergoing a complete bunker renovation. Other improvements include: all of the cart paths will be replaced with new concrete; some carts will be a whopping 12 feet wide to help with the World Golf Championships tournament.
