Trump National Golf Club

I had an amazing time at this golf course!

The course was in excellent condition — both the fairways and greens were well-maintained and a pleasure to play on. The beautiful natural scenery made the experience even more enjoyable, almost like a mini getaway. The staff were very friendly and the overall service was great. Facilities were clean and comfortable, making the entire day truly satisfying. I’d definitely love to come back again. Highly recommended!

Great course by the ocean and pretty challenging course, especially the greens and pin placement. Definitely plan to come out here again since this was my first time and love the patriotism !

I recently had the pleasure of playing a round at a Trump golf course, and I have to say—it was one of the most outstanding golf experiences I've ever had. From the moment I arrived, the service was impeccable. The staff greeted us warmly, made check-in effortless, and treated us like VIPs the entire day.

The course itself was nothing short of spectacular. Every hole was beautifully designed and immaculately maintained, with lush fairways, pristine greens, and breathtaking views at almost every turn. You could really tell how much attention to detail goes into keeping the grounds in top condition. Even the sand traps were perfectly raked, and the tee boxes were in pristine shape.

What really impressed me was the overall layout and design of the course. It was challenging but fair, with just the right balance of difficulty and playability. Whether you're a scratch golfer or a weekend warrior, you'd appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into each hole.

Beyond the golf itself, the amenities were first-class. The clubhouse was elegant and welcoming, with great food and a relaxing atmosphere. The pro shop was well-stocked with premium gear, and the locker rooms were spotless and spacious.

This wasn't just a golf outing—it felt like a luxury retreat. I left the course feeling refreshed, satisfied, and already planning my next visit. If you're looking for a top-tier golf experience, I can't recommend Trump National Golf Club highly enough. It truly exceeded all my expectations.

Beautiful and challenging course with an amazing Ocean view on every hole!

Very beautiful but tough course. Greens were recently punched and sanded, but the discounted greens fee offset that. The course was completely playable even under maintenance conditions and were probably still rolling at least a 10.

No real tree trouble here - but protected nature areas close to the fairway can cost you a few strokes if not careful and most of the fairways are not very wide. A little course knowledge looks to go a long way here as some fairways are very sloped and feed into collection bunkers, etc. I kept the driver in the bag a lot more than I normally do. Played blue tees. Black boxes were mostly closed, but could have added about 1000 yards if they were open.

I think it is both more scenic and more difficult than either Torrey course.

I don't think I'd pay anywhere near the normal price ($495-$1195) for an 8am tee time, but would 100% recommend this course if money is not an issue or if you pay in the $200 range.

Staff was fantastic. I have never met a better starter than Manny.

Best public course in LA. Hands down. Great conditions currently. Played 4/24.

I went to play this course and for $500+ it’s a total rip off. The greens were in terrible condition. Really lumpy greens and the fringe was completely patchy. No sand in the bunkers. We were hitting the netting underneath on every bunker shot. The setting was beautiful and the design is super fun and engaging. Overall I would’ve gladly paid $250 for this but it felt like they were ripping us off in their offseason when they were trying to repair the greens and hadn’t added new sand. Don’t buy balls from the pro shop because they are charging double retail price and won’t accept returns if you don’t end up using their overpriced balls. Ridiculous clubhouse with portraits of DT everywhere and I’ll include the entryway painting. It made me laugh.

"Surprised there were no cart girls making rounds. I’ve played at more affordable courses that still offer full cart service."

Also..

"The driving range was a bit underwhelming—you could only hit off mats, and they gave you just three tees for warming up with a driver. After three swings, no more tees. On the bright side, the food was great and the staff was super friendly. But Overall, I wouldn’t pay more than $150 to play here.

What scenic views and a shot makers course. You can’t even be upset with bad shots if you just look up around you.

The course is challenging but fun and even a couple weeks after aeration it was very playable and looked fantastic.

The rest was below expectation. Only on staff working the turn with long waits for food and drink. No cart girl that day and we took showers after the round and there was just a small bottle of generic shampoo. No soap, lotion or anything else. Even an Aloft has nicer toiletries.

But from a golf perspective, this rivals Pebble in my mind. A must play in my book.
