Surreal Round

First time playing here, what an experience. Staff was friendly, never waited for 1 shot out there, course is tough but in excellent condition, and of course the insane views. Had a 2:40 tee time and were the last group able to finish 18 just after sunset. If you have a shot to play it and haven’t, do it.

One of the best scenery golf courses.

I am too busy enjoying the sunset scene to play golf. The best way to enjoy the course is to play from the tips. Many narrow fairways, lost many balls😀.

Great Course, SLOW Pace of play

This course layout was amazing and the staff was very courteous. The pace of play was HORRIBLE on the back 9. We waited 20 minutes for each shot, and when you pay $300 for a round, that shouldn't happen. Not a marshal to be found. They also didn't have drinking water anywhere on the course except the clubhouse - and we were parched. The greens are super challenging but very fun. Honestly, if the pace of play had been better, and we weren't so parched, it would have been a perfect outing. But again, for $300 a person, we shouldn't have had to experience that.

Excellent course but short staffed

The course is in excellent shape with difficult greens that are difficult to read.
Sand was wet from the fog. Better layout that the Trump Bedmjnster NJ.
The course is short staffed with limited food after the Labor Day holiday and the driving range was closed for it’s weekly maintenance. Only one rest room on each 9 which are poorly maintained and shared with the hiking trail. No food and drink cart service.
Would expect better service/amenities considering the exorbitant green fees

disappointing for a Trump experience

We drove from Newport to golf here for the first time. We drove up to vaet, waited 15 minutes and couldn't find anyone to help us valet or drop our clubs off. I went inside to find out the valet person did not show up and the bag drop helper called off due to bronchitis. The restaurant was not open and the clubhouse looked like a ghost house. We eventually went to the driving range to warm up and agan no one was there to answer questions etc. Finally, an older gentleman arrived to yell at us that we grabbed the wrong color of practice balls- grabbed ours and threw a smaller bag at us. It had 10 balls in it and when I went to get another bag he yelled again saying only 1 bag allowed or else we had to drive up to the clubhouse pay for more and come back It was a very stressful and unkind experience. They are very short staffed and unfriendly at this location which is is shame because all of the other trump experiences have been absolutely wonderful. I did speak with the your manager but nothing came of it

Super twilighter

Tee’d off 5pm on a Sunday afternoon and got in 16 holes (one in the dusk.) For greens being punched 3 weeks ago, you could not tell. Pretty much fully recovered. Fairways are tight, but course isn’t overly long so if you hit it straight off tee you can score. If you hit it offline, you’re probably dropping 2 from one of the many lateral hazards.

Paying for the view

I've played Trump for years. As it gets more and more expensive, I can't justify the spend any longer. Carts are outdated, no stairs or paths to most of the elevated greens. No cart service on course today. Played later in the day, and the snack/grill closed mid-round. Couldn't even get water at the turn. No carts in the lot (which I understand) but it's a long walk up a steep hill to get back to the parking lot. If you've never played there, the views are worth it. But as a returning patron, the course needs to up it's amenities and service to justify the over $400 price.

Beautiful course, each hole is scenic

Great shape and beautifully landscaped. Course is not for the faint at heart with some narrow fairways to challenge you. Such fun.
