Trump National Golf Club

If you let your political views (either way) relax for the day you will really enjoy the Trump LA experience! This is a diabolical Pete Dye design that rewards good shots but really penalizes bad shots so think ahead of whether you keep the big dog in the bag on many holes. The views are the best in L.A. with Rancho Palos Verdes cliffs and stunning views of Catalina Island along the Pacific Ocean. The course isn’t long unless you play from the tips, but there’s no real bailout zones so you are constantly faced with bunkers on the right and brush on the left or vice versa. If your ball finds the brush it’s a lost ball so expect to score above your handicap, and if it’s a friendly game you might need a breakfast ball, let alone a lunch and dinner ball. :-) Definitely worth the visit if you can afford the greens fees as you get private club meets resort course meets championship layout open to the public, a rare golf experience. A must-play if you’re golfing in the South Bay LA area! 💪⛳️

Probably one of the best golf courses in California, laid out on the cliffs links style with every hole overlooking the Pacific Ocean! From the tee boxes to the fairways, bunkers, the rough & the greens they have always been in phenomenal shape each time I’ve played. The staff is always super friendly and the pro shop has great march. Also the bar & restaurant as well as the patio lookout over the ocean. The green as very fast make sure and warm up the putter! Excellent course!

Course conditions were great but why cart path only. I wish I brought a cart and just walked it. So annoying having to drive a cart and then walk to ball then go back to cart etc. it created a slow pace of play and we left at the 15th (no Marshall) with 2 groups stacked at the box in front of us. I wouldn’t come back knowing it’s cart path only.

This is the 3rd month they have not allowed carts off the path even though the fairways are now fully recovered from overseeding 2 months ago

Made reservation the day before with an afternoon tee time. Fantastic day, friendly staff, course in good shape after recent over-seeding. Excellent pace of play and the ocean views spectacular!

Many workers on course, fairway grass is growing and thin. Sand is still on greens.
