Course Report
Trump International Golf Club was Donald Trump's first golf property and has hosted several major LPGA championships, with winners including Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa.
About
Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach is a prestigious private club featuring 27 holes, designed by Jim Fazio and opened in 1999. Renowned for expansive bunkers, undulating terrain unusual for South Florida, and a Mediterranean-style clubhouse, the course has hosted multiple LPGA championships and is highly prized among local and national golfers.
Caddie Tip
Stay below the hole on approach shots, as the greens tend to be quick and undulating. Avoid the deep bunkers, especially on the closing stretch; the prevailing winds can make approaches tricky, so consider a conservative line off the tee on No. 18.
The Main Challenge
The course’s greatest challenge is its aggressive bunkering and undulating greens, which put a premium on precision approaches and short game. The closing holes are especially tough when the wind picks up, forcing players to carefully plan club choice.
The Good
Golfers consistently praise Trump International’s unbelievable conditioning and dramatic bunkering. The course’s layout provides strategic options and memorable risk-reward holes, set against lush landscaping and mature trees, making for a thoroughly enjoyable round for skilled players.
The Not So Good
Non-members note difficulty gaining access, as it is strictly private. Some players wish for more walkable routing, as the distances between holes and undulating terrain can be challenging for walkers. Expansive bunkers occasionally prove penal for high-handicap golfers.
