Yea, it'll play to Par 72 (I'm assuming) and shorter. These fairways were 40+ yards wide so they shouldn't have problem, especially since they are watering the greens.

Ironically, Trump just purchased Turnberry

It wasn't as pristine as your typical tour caliber course is

No one is denying that


The reasons why it looked like it did have been posted more than once in this thread

I always figured golf courses to be bad investments


What's he know that others don't?

For the most part he's only buying high-end courses with notoriety. I'm just laughing at him critiquing the re-design of Pinehurst the day before purchasing Turnberry.

If you haven't seen the redesign in person, then STFU!

i had mentioned to a few friends that if i drove up to a course that looked like that i would think to myself WTF is this.
i understand that it was suppose to look like a links course but that looks just does not work if it is not bordering a large body of water.

Actually I am pretty sure the PGA awarded him a major earlier this year....

ETA: Yep. 2022 PGA Championship and a future Senior PGA

I thought that the native areas looked too easy for those guys. The rough usually is one of the big factors in the majors and they didn't seem to have any trouble getting out of the native areas.

A thought one of Trumps courses is hosting a major (PGA) in the next 10 years.

I agree with the Donalds assessment. That being said, no one should blame Kaymer for putting on a clinic.
