It’s fair to say the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, enjoys his golf.
As a real estate developer, he began acquiring and constructing golf courses in 1999 and has since built a worldwide portfolio.
While claims of his handicap, or how he could fix golf in 15 minutes, are up for debate, his golf courses are undeniably famous.
In total, The Trump Organization owns 15 golf courses – 11 in the United States, two in Scotland, one in Ireland and one in the UAE.
Meanwhile, Trump has three golf courses under construction – two in Indonesia and one in the UAE.
