Trump, a keen player and follower of golf, owns no fewer than 17 golf courses across the world, including ones in Aberdeen and Turnberry. His Aberdeen course, designed by Martin Hawtree, possesses views of towering dunes, vast valleys and the jagged coastline of the North Sea.
His organisation, Trump Golf, owns a vast collection of golf courses across the world from right here in Scotland, to Ireland, America and Dubai.

Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster: This is Trump's best-recognized private club, with the 36-hole facility hosting the 2009 U.S. Junior Amateur competitions. It will host the 2017 U.S. Women's Opena and the 2022 PGA Championship.
Trump Turnberry Resort: Trump purchased the Turnberry resort, which has hosted the British Open four times (last in 2009), in 2014. It has since hosted the Women's British Open, and Trump has invested a nine-figure sum in the resort, including a renovation of the major-hosting Ailsa course.
The Trump Organization golf portfolio is a mix of private, non-equity country clubs; resorts Trump built or acquired at depressed prices; and a public course his firm manages in the Bronx. Trump also manages a pair of golf courses in the United Arab Emirates, including Trump International Golf Club and Trump World Golf Club.
Trump World Golf Club is set to open in 2020, two years after the first Dubai course opened. Trump also has other international properties, including a forthcoming deal to manage Trump International Golf Club in Bali.

Trump Golf Links, Ferry Point: Located in The Bronx, this Jack Nicklaus Design-built course sits on top of a former landfill (like Bayonne and Liberty National).

Trump claims to have made the first hole-in-one on the property.
Obama – who played a total of 333 rounds of golf during his eight years in office – had visited a golf course 98 times through the same time in his presidency as Trump. By late May, CBS reported that Trump had spent all or part of 248 days at a golf course while president.
During his 2016 presidential campaign, then-candidate Trump attacked President Barack Obama for reports of the latter’s visits to the links – saying “Because I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go play golf.”
President Trump on Sunday defended his golf outings in a tweet – saying he plays “VERY fast” and it’s his “exercise.”

(CNN, among other outlets, did note that it was his first golf outing since March 8.) Trump also accused the media of failing to talk about "all of the time Obama spent on ...
Facts First: Trump has spent much more time playing golf than Obama did through this point of the term -- after repeatedly attacking Obama's golfing and claiming he would not play if he got elected himself.
