Trump National Golf Club

Say what you want about his politics, but Trump’s golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes is a real gem. It’s typical astronomically expensive, but if you can snag a “Hot Deal”, the course may be worth it. There are amazing views on almost every hole and the course conditions are as close to pristine as a public course can get… fun fact: the Catalina wine mixer from the movie Step Brothers was actually filmed right behind the snack shack of the course with Catalina in the background.

It was my first time playing here at the Trump National’s and I am so glad I was able to book it! It’s an excellent course with some challenges, though not too difficult. Just love the surroundings and the conditions of the course overall was fantastic! I highly recommend playing here if you’re all about playing at a course with great views and some challenging holes. It’s a fun course.

Course is amazing

Great layout

Challenging , fun

Staff is awesome

Find a price that fits your budget and go for it you won’t be disappointed!

Very nice on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Rain was planned in the morning so Hot deal was on. And we had the course for ourseves!

More than perfect for the price.

Impeccable service and friendly staff

Tough greens and narrow fairways along the slopes

I recommend it. But those +1000.00 green fees are very $$$

Fun layout. Lots of 4 irons off tee to keep in fairway. Had fun while getting great views of the ocean.

Ive played TNGC a dozen times. Teed off 1/15 7am. Course is in the Best shape I’ve ever seen. Greens were lightning fast. We set the pace. Finished in 4h20m even snapped a bunch of photos and vids. We also stopped for a bfast burrito at the turn, which was excellent for $12. Nows the time to play! January 2024.

The starter was awesome and I really enjoyed talking to him as he’s been there since inception. Course was in great shape. If you aren’t hitting it straight be prepared to lose a lot of golf balls. One random in our group ran out on the back 9 :) Play was a little slow and some holes cart path only but the marshall came out to help which was nice. The views of the ocean and Catalina are amazing!

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.
