Donald Trump is planning to purchase a $200 million golf course in Florida
After purchasing a $150 million golf course outside Florida, Donald Trump now plans to buy another $200 million golf course, but this time in Florida.
The American business magnate is investing plenty of money in golf courses. The TPC Blue Monster Doral Miami in Florida is the amazing venue of the WGC-Cadillac Championship and now is in his purchase list.
Trump already owns a Trump International in West Palm Beach. This is also an amazing course with all the modern facilities.
On the other hand, he also has courses in New York, Washington and in California. Now he aims to own a course situated in Miami, Florida.
The Cadillac Championship is in progress and the first round was completed on Thursday.
Hence, at the end of the day, Trump had revealed his monster plans for the purchase of the Doral course and make it a perfect place for the future.
"It's a tremendous location, 800 acres right smack in the middle of Miami, and we look to make this one of the great places anywhere in the world for golf," Trump said on Thursday.
He added, "It needs a lot of work. It's a little bit tired, and that's OK. And we're going to do something special".
The Doral Course was established in 1962 and is one of the high-rated sites in the US. It has hosted several golf tournaments in the past and since 2007, it is renowned for hosting the World Golf Championship.
At the Cadillac Championship, top-50 ranked golfers are performing and increasing the competition and interest level for the spectators.
However, 2013 will be the last year for the WGC event, as it is planned that the course will be closed for some years due to renovations and changes.
Gil Hanse will be the architect for the course and will be giving a new look to the course. He will also be adding more toughness, by adding more bunkers and water hazards.
Similarly, Doral course will be given a new name, after the added features and renovation. However, the name is not yet finalised by Trump.
"When we have spent the money, and when it's at the highest level of luxury and highest level of golf ... then we are going to make the decision," he added. "But it will be in some form 'Doral' ".
This will be attractive for all the Floridian natives, as after the renovation and amazing new features, the golf lovers can enjoy more facilities on the course.
