Housing Policy
The Optimist is not your typical golf tournament. Participants and guests are housed on site at Trump Nationl Doral Resort and Spa which includes group meals and special evening events. In order to fully enjoy the fellowship opportunities of the Optimist, golfers (at minimum) must accept one of the accommodation packages through the tournament. Families and friends are encouraged (but not required) to stay at the resort. Families and friends who elect to stay onsite must accept one of the registration packages offered.
Commuter
Optimist Junior Golf grants commuter status; to golfers who live and attend school in the Florida counties of Broward and Miami Dade.
Housing
Participants and their families will be housed in the most accommodating room type available. In some cases, rollaway beds will be used. Participants and guests selecting the two-room option will be housed in two hotel rooms (connecting not guaranteed).
A parent or guardian must accompany players age 13 and under. NO EXCEPTIONS. The parent or guardian must register and stay on proprerty with their golfer.
Once registrations are received, players and guests will be assigned a hotel room. Any players traveling by themselves will be housed with a roommates of comparable age and gender. Special roommate requests will be honored if possible. Roommate changes are not permitted. Roommates are responsible for dividing and paying all personal room charges before their departure. Hotel room assignments will be available only upon checkin. Please do not call Doral Resort and Spa with questions regarding tournament accommodations.
All tournament meals (designated locations), golf and recreational functions will take place on the property of Trump National Doral Resort and Spa, Miami.

Rooms will be available after 4 PM on the day of arrival.

We make every effort to house all golfers and guests onsite at Trump National Doral Resort and Spa. However, should a need arise, we reserve the right to house players and their guests at an offsite property. Priority for housing at Doral will be given to golfers in the following order:
(1) Golfers traveling alone to the Optimist;
(2) Golfers traveling with their families who qualified through an official Optimist District tournament;
(3) Golfers who are eligible for the Optimist through a method other than an official qualifying tournament.
