Trump International Golf Club

What Trump International Golf Club does

Trump International Golf Club, Dubai is a private luxury golf club located within the DAMAC Hills master-planned community in Dubai, UAE, developed by DAMAC Properties and operated under a licensing and management agreement with The Trump Organization. The 500-acre property features a Gil Hanse-designed 18-hole championship links-style course, a 9-hole floodlit Par 3 course (recognized as the world's best Par 3 course), and Dubai's first floodlit TrackMan driving range. Night golf is enabled on holes 10–18 via Musco LED BallTracker lighting, and a 30,000-square-foot clubhouse anchors multiple dining venues (Trump Restaurant, Trump Sports Bar, Par 3 Pavilion, Trump Pool & Lounge), an infinity pool, fitness center, full-service Pro Shop, and indoor swing studios equipped with V1 Pro, SAM PuttLab, TrackMan, and a simulator.

The club monetizes across six revenue streams: recurring annual memberships (Full Golf, Corporate, Country Club, Junior, Leisure) with reciprocal access to 18 Trump Golf properties globally; transaction-based green fees and public tee times; PGA-led instruction through the Trump Golf Performance Academy; hardware sales and TaylorMade club fitting at the Pro Shop; food and beverage across four venues; and event/venue rentals for corporate golf days, weddings, and private parties. Go-to-market is sales-led, targeting affluent Dubai residents and international visitors, corporate clients, golf enthusiasts of all skill levels, and event hosters, with booking supported by a Chronogolf-powered mobile app and direct on-site sales.

Operationally, the club is managed by a leadership team led by General Manager Phil Waine, with Director of Golf, Director of Agronomy, Director of Instruction, and a PGA coaching roster drawn from British and DP World Tour backgrounds. It has accumulated continuous industry recognition from 2018 through 2025, including World Golf Awards 'Middle East's Best Golf Course 2025', 'UAE's Best Golf Course' in 2022 and 2024, 'Best Par 3 Golf Course' in 2021 and 2024, multiple 59 Club Service Excellence and Gold Flag awards, and Luxury Lifestyle Awards. It does not raise venture funding; operations are member-cash-flow funded.
