The East side of Doral is home to the Doral Resort & Spa started in the late 1950s. Real estate pioneer Alfred and Doris Kaskel purchased 2,400 acres of swampland between NW 36 Street and NW 74 Street and from NW 79 Avenue to NW 117 Avenue for about $49,000 with the intention of building a golf course and hotel. In 1962, the Kaskel's dream came true when they opened a hotel and country club that featured the Blue, Red and Par 3 golf courses.

They named it Doral--a combination of Alfred and Doris. As Doral's very first structure, the Doral Hotel and Country Club became the area's hot spot. In the second year of operation, the Kaskels hosted the first Doral Open Invitational, Florida's major PGA event. Alfred offered $50,000 in prize money to attract well-known golfers. To put it in perspective, according to the South Florida Golf Foundation, there were only three other tournaments being held in Florida at the time with a combined total of $65,000 prize money.

By the early 1980s, Doral started to experience the first spurts of growth when Alfred and Doris' grandson Bill developed Doral Estates, followed by a joint venture with Lennar Homes to build Doral Park. Both communities were named after the Hotel, a trend that was to be repeated many more times. Younger families started flooding the area but had to travel to purchase even the most basic essentials, because there were no stores or schools or parks. Although the majority of the original homes were investment properties or second homes, the early full time residents believed that the quality of life and the low housing costs far exceeded the lack of amenities and started coming together as a community.
