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?

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

Fact: You support millions of people you disagree with daily. The company that made your computer, hot dog, ice cream is probably libertarian,  or a communist, or racist, etc.

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.

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 🤨

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.
