Former President Donald Trump owns 16 golf clubs around the world, with more in the works.
He hosted a tournament at his Washington, DC club last week and broke ground on a new course in Scotland this month.
Trump's courses have historically struggled to turn a profit, according to reporting from Fortune and the New York Times.
Former President Donald Trump's love for golf and his extensive collection of courses continues to receive widespread media attention.
While in office, he went golfing at least 150 times across 298 golf-course visits, according to an online tracker.
His post-White House life has been little different, but it still involves ample time on the fairway across his 16 clubs in the US and the UK.
Last week, Trump hosted a Washington, DC-area tournament for LIV Golf, a men's league backed by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund and its billions. This year, the league will hold events at three of his properties, according to The New York Times. It is unclear how much money the Trump Organization is making from LIV's events, but Trump said on May 25 "that hosting tournaments amounts to 'peanuts for me,'" the Times reported. His affiliation with LIV comes after tension between Trump and the Professional Golfers' Association of America, or PGA, and the PGA Tour.
Earlier this month, he visited Trump International Scotland, a resort in Aberdeen, to cut the ribbon on his second course at that location. There are plans for another course in Dubai, and two more in Indonesia, although Insider reported in December 2022 that construction at the resort in Bali has stalled.
In 2012, Trump spent $150 million to buy the National Doral Miami. But over the next six years, the Times revealed, it ended up losing $162.3 million. In 2016, the PGA Tour ended its long-term relationship with the Doral course.
Also, as noted by Slate in 2020, Trump still has a $125 million mortgage on the property that's due this year. In addition, he's lost $63.6 million on his golf courses in Scotland and Ireland combined.
Insider compiled a list of Trump's 16 open and operating golf clubs, along with their amenities, from TheTrump Organization. Keep reading for a look inside each.
Before the course opened in 2015, Insider reporters Jay Yarow and Tony Manfred tested it out. They described their experience as fun and not too difficult. They also applauded the nice views of the city's skyline and the Whitestone Bridge.
Former President Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, spans over 600 acres and includes two 18-hole golf courses, tennis courts, a pool, and a fitness center.

This golf course has been the host of many important games.
In 2017, it hosted the US Women's Open. It was slated to host the PGA Championship in 2022, but the PGA relocated the event elsewhere after the insurrection at the Capitol in January 2021.
Trump's private golf club in Colts Neck, New Jersey, includes an 18-hole golf course, a 9-hole short course, a fitness complex, a clubhouse, a pool complex, and tennis courts.
Trump's golf club in Los Angeles, California, includes an 18-hole course, a 45,000-square-foot clubhouse, and a ballroom that can host up to 300 guests.

In June 2021, Insider reported that the sand dunes on this course were at risk of losing their protected status because they were damaged during the development process. The course opened in 2012, despite concerns that it would damage the unique habitat.
In addition to the controversy, in May 2021, Insider reported that the course consistently posts annual financial losses in excess of $1 million.
In May of 2023, Trump flew to Aberdeen to break ground on a second golf course at the same location. The 18-hole course will be designed by Martin Hawtree, the same architect who designed the first Aberdeen course.
Trump's golf club in Dubai includes an 18-hole course, a 9-hole par-3 course,
a 30,000-square-foot clubhouse, a pool, a fitness complex, a luxury hotel, and indoor swing studios.
The Trump Organization
In 2018, the company that manages the Dubai golf course more than doubled its income, according to The Daily Beast.
Trump is also in the process of building another golf club in Dubai, which will be designed by PGA champion Tiger Woods.
