Trump Golf

What Trump Golf does

Trump Golf is a privately held luxury golf hospitality brand that operates a portfolio of 21 championship golf properties globally, headquartered in New York City as part of The Trump Organization. Founded in 1999 with the acquisition of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, the portfolio spans public-access courses (Trump National Los Angeles, Trump National Doral, Trump International Scotland) and private member clubs (Trump National Bedminster, Westchester, Washington D.C., Charlotte, Colts Neck, Jupiter, Philadelphia, Hudson Valley), plus integrated resort destinations in Scotland (Turnberry, Aberdeen), Ireland (Doonbeg), and Dubai. The company's technology backbone is the Trump Golf mobile app, which provides GPS-enabled yardage guides, 3D hole flyovers, digital tee time booking, real-time scoring for up to five players, tournament leaderboards, real-time weather, and Spotify integration; the app is available on iOS and Android.

Trump Golf generates revenue through five streams: annual and monthly membership dues across Full Golf, Social, and Corporate tiers; public green fees at accessible courses; resort accommodations and packages at integrated properties; event hosting (weddings, corporate outings, golf tournaments); and ancillary retail including Trump Gift Cards (capped at $2,000 per day) and golf shop merchandise. The company pursues a hybrid go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer booking via trumpgolf.com and the mobile app with field-based enterprise sales for membership and corporate events, and it generates significant brand awareness through hosting of major professional tournaments including LIV Golf events, the 2022 PGA Championship, the 2017 U.S. Women's Open, and the 2017 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship. Customer segments span HNW golf enthusiasts seeking exclusive private club access, corporate groups needing luxury entertainment venues, luxury travelers and golf tourists, and public-access golfers. Distribution is multi-channel: direct website booking, self-serve tee time reservations at public courses, event inquiry systems, tournament ticketing, and Trump Hotels integration for resort stays. The portfolio has received multiple World Golf Awards (Scotland's Best Golf Course, World's Best Golf Hotel, World's Best Par 3, Florida's Best Golf Hotel, Ireland's Best Golf Hotel, UAE Best Golf Course, New Jersey's Best Golf Course) and recognition from Golf Digest, Golfweek, Golf Magazine, and Platinum Clubs of America.

Direct peers

• Pebble Beach Company: Operates Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill, The Hay, and multiple resort properties on the Monterey Peninsula — a multi-property operator of luxury championship golf courses integrated with hotels and dining that maps directly to Trump Golf's full-stack golf/resort model.
• Pinehurst Resort & Country Club: Operates nine championship courses (including No. 2, host of multiple U.S. Opens) plus a 500-room resort, spa, and F&B operation — a portfolio of elite golf courses, lodging, and tournament hosting that closely parallels Trump Golf's club + resort + championship hosting stack.
• Invited Clubs (formerly ClubCorp): Largest owner-operator of private golf and country clubs in the United States with hundreds of member clubs; competes directly with Trump Golf's private Full Golf / Social / Corporate membership model across member acquisition, dues pricing, and country-club amenity positioning.
• The American Club / Kohler Golf (Destination Kohler): Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run host multiple majors (2021 Ryder Cup, 2015 PGA Championship) within an integrated five-star resort and spa destination — a direct comparable for tournament-hosting credibility, championship Pete Dye design pedigree, and resort-anchored golf hospitality.
• TPC Network (PGA Tour): A network of 30+ tournament-grade golf clubs operated in partnership with the PGA Tour, hosting professional tournaments at member venues — directly comparable to Trump Golf's tournament-host business with each network venue delivering premium membership access and championship visibility.
• Bandon Dunes Golf Resort: Destination golf resort in Oregon with six links-style courses, multiple lodging properties, and pure golf-travel positioning — a comparable luxury golf-only resort operator at smaller portfolio scale than Trump Golf but with a similar destination-stay and high-end course focus.

Others

• Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts: Global luxury hospitality operator with golf-anchored and resort properties (e.g., Hualalai, Lanai) — overlapping with the lodging, F&B, spa, and high-end service delivery stack at Turnberry, Doonbeg, Doral, and Lido; adjacent rather than directly competitive in member-club economics.

Regional players

• Casa de Campo Resort & Villas: Luxury Caribbean destination resort with Teeth of the Dog (Top 100 course), marina, shooting center, and villa lodging — comparable to Trump Golf's resort courses on a regional basis, pairing multi-course championship golf with luxury accommodations and destination event hosting.
• St Andrews Links Trust: Manages the seven courses at St Andrews (Old Course, Castle Course), the birthplace of golf and host of The Open — directly comparable to Trump Turnberry / Trump Scotland as a historic links-course operator with destination tourism, heritage prestige, and championship hosting in the UK.

Broad incumbents

• Troon Golf: The largest third-party golf course management company globally, providing management, agronomy, marketing, and membership services to 850+ courses — a broader incumbent that competes for the same luxury golf audience via managed services rather than direct ownership of flagship championship properties.
