From the tips it is over 7400 yards with a slope rating of 149 and it would make tour pros cry. If you miss the fairway it's not likely you will find your ball.

I know what you're thinking...of course he likes a Trump course. Actually I'd have the same opinion if Al Gore built it. When I played it last summer it was 280 GBP, over $300 for a game.

After my round I asked the Head Pro what a yearly membership costs, he said $2500 USD gets you unlimited golf. I said see you next year. This is the caliber of golf course that would cost $250,000 to join plus yearly fees of $25,000 in the USA
Hey! A great course is a great course, regardless of who builds or owns it. A rose by any other name... There are somethings, IMHO, that transcend politics. Golf is (or should be) one of them.
