[1] Prior to its renovation, the club was reported to feature “four golf courses; 700 hotel rooms across 10 lodges;[2] more than 86,000 square feet (8,000 m2) of meeting space, including a 25,000-square-foot (2,300 m2) ballroom; a 50,000-square-foot (4,600 m2) spa with 33 treatment rooms; six food and beverage outlets; extensive retail; and a private members' clubhouse.”[3] The Doral Country Club was built for $10 million (equivalent to $101 million in 2023) by Carol Management, a New York-based real estate firm headed by Alfred Kaskel.

In 1994, Carol Management sold a majority stake in the resort to KSL Recreation, a Kohlberg Kravis Roberts affiliate focused on premier golf facilities, for approximately $100 million.

[33] In October 2019, amidst the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump, the White House announced that the Doral would host the upcoming 46th G7 summit.

The move prompted renewed criticism that Trump was self-dealing in violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the United States Constitution.

House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler called the selection of Doral “among the most brazen examples yet of the President's corruption.”[28] Lack of support from Trump's Republican allies who had grown weary of defending him led Trump to abandon his plans within days of the announcement.

The Latinoamérica Tour Championship was moved in October 2018 after plans to demolish host course Melreese Country Club to build Miami Freedom Park were announced.

[38] Initially, the Shell Tour Championship finished on the 18th hole of Red Tiger, a 526-yard par-5, instead of the Golden Palm 18th, a 469-yard par-4 featuring an island green.
