Doral is a city of about 75,000 people in western Miami-Dade County, close to Miami International Airport. The area was mostly swamp and farmland until the 1960s, when developers Alfred and Doris Kaskel built a golf resort and country club here, naming it Doral after a blend of their first names. The surrounding community incorporated as a city in 2003.
Today Doral is a busy business and logistics hub with a large Venezuelan and Latin American community, which has made it known for arepas, cachapas and other Latin American food. The famous golf resort, now Trump National Doral Miami, has hosted major professional events on its Blue Monster course.
Visitors find a growing downtown, the dining and entertainment of CityPlace Doral, Topgolf and the large Miami International Mall. New parks such as Doral Central Park and Doral Glades Park, with its wetland trails and kayaking, add green space. Miami Beach, the Everglades and downtown Miami are all within about 30 to 40 minutes.
The large golf resort that gave the city its name, opened in the 1960s, with several courses including the Blue Monster, long a stop on the PGA Tour. It also has a hotel, spa and restaurants. Tee times and spa visits are open to non-guests; book ahead in the busy winter season.
A multi-level, climate-controlled driving range where groups hit microchipped balls at targets in scoring games, with food and drinks served at the bays. No golf experience is needed, and clubs are provided. Book a bay in advance on weekend evenings, when it is busiest.
An open-air center with restaurants, bars, a bowling and entertainment venue, shops and apartments around a central plaza that often hosts live music and events. It is one of Doral's main places for an evening out. Parking is in the garage; weekends are lively with families and groups.
A large enclosed mall on NW 107th Avenue with department stores, more than 100 shops, family restaurants and a food court. It is a popular air-conditioned stop on hot or rainy days. Visit on a weekday morning to avoid crowds, and look for seasonal sales events.
A new mixed-use district with apartments, shops, cafes, restaurants, a charter school, the city government center and a central park with lawns, shade trees and a playground. It is a good place for a walk, a coffee and Latin American bakeries. Look for weekend markets and community events.
The city's large flagship park, with open lawns for picnics, a lake, walking trails, a modern playground and sports facilities, and seasonal events such as outdoor movie nights. It is free to visit. Come in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat, and bring water.
An environmental park and nature center with boardwalks and trails through restored wetlands, kayaking on its waterways and educational exhibits about South Florida's ecosystems. It is a good place to see wading birds and native plants close to the city. Bring sun protection and insect repellent.
