It's pretty clear that the OP's question has a political element in it.  Currently Trump owns (or is part owner?) in 18 courses around the globe. https://www.trumpgolf.com/

I'd love to play all of them. Short of the decision being politically based, why wouldn't you? Sure, all but one (I believe) are private and have pricey green fees, but there are hundreds of courses that fall into that group.  I have played one of them (Doral), but that was back in the late 60's when playing on the JGA and DT was busy working on his first million.  I'm counting it anyway... only 17 more to check off.

Umm... Yeah, just as I'd still stay at one of his hotels and/or casinos. As others have mentioned, I care more about the product than the man, though I really have nothing against him as a person eith

Would love to play a matchplay against Trump on one of his courses, no strokes given. If you believe Suzanne Petterson, he is a cheat on the golfcourse.

You answered that question yourself. Value is different for different people and some of those courses aren't really known for having good layouts.

Doral, for example, I've never been interested in, even before he owned it.

I don't want to be an enabler, so no.

There are so many golf courses in the world ... I can skip a few.

An enabler of what? Your greens fee accounts for, what, less than $0.01 in Trump's pocket?

Mr. Desmond

On second thought, if I could partner with Trump in the same cart, why not? We'd have a good discussion.

Yes, I would gladly play at one of his courses if it fell in my price range.

Nope, there are so many other nice golf courses that could use the business. His aren't anything special.

I guess you never played  Trump in the Bronx. It's a fantastic golf course. Just cost too much.

You would get to drive on the greens.

This made me chuckle.  My home club was initially owned by a single guy, and even though he's invited some of the members to invest, he still maintains majority ownership.  Every once in a while in the evening, you'll see his Cadillac rolling down the cart path as he takes his dogs for a walk.

Does he stay in the car as the dog walks along side?:-P

Have you seen him too?  And I think we're pretty off-topic, sorry for that.

No, i wouldn't pay to play at one of his courses. But ive played at trump properties for tournaments in the past. Even before he became prez, i though the clubhouses at trump courses were creepy places. They're like cult lairs devoted to him. And i could have sworn i saw a clearly photoshopped image of trump shoveling dirt or something in one of the locker rooms at Colts Neck. Its just 🤨

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
