Very grand looking house but a little disappointing in side no grand reception just a hall way? Room was a big statement with Trump pillow etc. But behind the grand image we had curtains that did not draw missing blinds and we where in a ground floor room next to the parking not so fantastic really considering the over Trumpped brand. Full Breakfast was very good for me but my wife’s omelette was poor and service was very slow. Dinner in the golf club is a bit of a let down

Again played in tough, windy conditions but the most immaculately maintained spectacular course you could wish for. Nothing about the golf disappoints. Where Trump falls down is the lack of facilities in the clubhouse - there is no space for changing really which is a shame for a nice clubhouse. The food and drink service was terrible and a number of items returned uneaten. Also quadruple the price of other clubhouse offerings.

An unbelievable course that ranks only slightly behind Turnberry for all categories. Would love to play this course again but might wait for their second course to be finished.

First time at the venue and would like to play again as the layout is tough. Everything in very good condition. Back nine definitely hits the spot with some truly wonderful holes and intelligent design. Front nine not so engaging, especially the front four holes - it does get better. Make sure you climb to the top of the 18th tee box (pro tees) for stunning views. And yet....there is just something missing. Its a bit corporate on the welcome front and feels soul less. Good course, but not magical. Play it and make your own mind up. Glad we went, I definitely recommend playing it once, but now its been ticked off there are other places Id return to

Everything you would expect from a trump course. Just a joy to visit. A most enjoyable yet challenging experience. A lot of money though. I guess you just have to pay for quality.

Lots of people have rated this course as 5 and many at 1? We all have seen the stories about locals and distorting the nature but I have to say it is some course not for the faint hearted you need a good game and a long straight drive to enjoy this place. It is far too hard for the occasional golfer it’s a brutal test and for that I admire it! Greens are very tricky and long approaches to the wrong sector and it’s 3 putts all day. They are true and great surfaces a good short putt would drop. So I get the marmite approach to rating respect it and if your not good off the tee take a dozen balls or stay away 👍
