The legendary Miami golf getaway has been renovated and revitalized,
For decades, Doral Golf Resort & Spa has thrilled golfers and pampered its guests as one of the premier golf destinations in the country. The famous Miami, Fla., resort has recently received a little TLC of its own, and is ready to reintroduce itself to Metropolitan New York-area travelers.
