Trump's Presence in The Golfing Industry

Donald Trump is one of the most talked about individuals in the news today and many people do not realize exactly what The Trump Organization is; they just knew about Donald as “that guy” on The Apprentice. The Trump Organization owns some of the most stunning buildings in the most prime properties imaginable from Fifth Avenue, Manhattan to The Great Dunes of Scotland. From luxury sky scrapper condominiums to the most lavish chain of golf resorts. Trump is not only a name, but also a brand that exceeds every expectation.

For the most part, Trump buys a plot of land and builds a golf course, however, there have been several occasions where he has bought an existing golf course. Nevertheless, the golf course still gets “Trumped”.

What will you find at a “Trumped” golf course you may wonder?

• The Grand Clock
• An 80ft Flag that bears the flag of the nation where the golf course is
• A Roman Water Fountain in front of each clubhouse
• Lush green grass pathways
• Venetian Chandeliers throughout the buildings
• Black and Gold being the main colours
• An increased amount of natural day light in his buildings 
• For anything to be as symmetrical as possible 

I know this as I was a Golf Operations Intern at Trump Turnberry over the past two summers. A golf course that was tired out before Trump's purchase. I have truly witnessed the real contrast between a normal golf resort and a magnificent one with thanks to The Trump Organization.
