trump national golf club

I played this one on my stop before NZ and it was a great warm up. its a tough course with nice greens. not sure its worth the really high ranking it gets in golf magazine but the ocean views might have something to do with that. the wife did like all the birds there too.

Trump National was one of the most challenging courses I've ever played with its tight fairways, undulating greens, and tough pin placements. Surprisingly, the wind did not place play as much a factor as I had anticipated. The food in the clubhouse is excellent. Great Bloody Mary's also.

By far the best course in the west coast IMO. A bit short, but very pretty. If you came by just for the scenery, you can do that too. Buffet was excellent, and not just for the price, but good, fact.

I played trump last Dec 2013 with my family. I was SO excited to return to one of the courses I rave about as having the best views in Socal as well as challenging holes to make for a great round of golf. The day started out exactly as I expected: warm greetings from the pro shop as we bought the extra balls we would need, a thorough explanation of the course from the starter and an amazing bloody mary from the beverage cart.We pre-ordered our cheesburgers at #9 for the turn... and that is when my day was absolutely ruined by poorly trained staff. At the turn, I went to the locker room to use the restroom. The locker room attendant was not there, so I asked Mary, the concession stand cashier, for the code. She asked me if I was playing golf. I smiled and said yes. She came out the side door of her concession stand into the hallway, looked me up and down and said "Are you sure?" I was in utter disbelief. Um.... (in my head thinking, do you see my golf shoes, my Nike golf skirt and golf ball silhouettes in my pocket?) "Yes," I reiterated again. Mary, "Ok this is the code." I go back to the door, the code is wrong. I had to walk back down the hallway and said "What is the code it didn't work?" Instead of apologizing, she just rattled off another code. This code was completely different. It was not as if she had transposed the numbers, all 4 numbers were different!I was fuming. I wanted to ask, "Excuse me, are you sure you work at Trump? Did I really just spend $1000 just to be here to golf to get this kind of humiliation and treatment?"I called the manager, Dimitrius, who was apologetic and assured me he would reprimand the employee. Upon the completion of my round, he offered me a complimentary drink. When we got the check, my drink was on the bill. I was even more embarrassed to have to tell the waiter the drink should be comp'd! I appreciate Dimitrius' gesture, but a $10 complimentary cocktail does not come close to making up for the humiliation and ruined day of golf. Dimitrius said he has not played the course, so maybe he does not realize how much it costs to step foot on the course. Most golf courses that charge $280 in greens fees per player would have offered a complimentary future round to ensure I kept a high regard for their club. My second experience really changed my view of the Trump golf course and what it offers. I would never want to risk spending $1,000 to be humiliated again nor could I recommend it to business associates for fear they could have the same experience.

The Cafe Pacific restaurant at Trump National in Rancho Palos Verdes is not very busy for breakfast, and that suits me just fine. You always get a nice window table with a great Pacific Ocean view. Service is fast, efficient, and friendly...and the food is good, too!This visit I had an omelet with cheddar cheese, mushrooms, and avocado. It comes with toast, hash browns and your choice of either bacon or sausage. I opted for the sourdough toast and bacon. The omelet was very good but a little dry. Everything else was excellent. I did not order coffee this time, as I feel their $5 price is a bit much for "just OK" coffee. Service from Mr. Kevin was excellent, as always.Parking here is free, both self and valet. But if you elect to use valet parking, please remember to tip the valet well for their very fast service. I hit a golf ball once. It was not a pleasant experience. But that's another story!

There are many wonderful stops along the Rancho Palos Verdes Peninsula and this is one of them. Spectacular setting for large weddings. Expensive golf course. a beautiful American flag flying

We attended a wedding reception at this venue and what and amazing place fabulous sunset, wonderful staff the food was delicious . Highly recommend this amazing breath taking views perfect for weddings receptions !

This is open to the public and there are several trails that lead down to the beach and along the cliffs. It used to be dog friendly, but dogs are no longer allowed on the beach (due to a handful of residents who protested and won), however they are allowed all along the trails (on leashes). The beach is not a great swimming beach as there are many large rocks. The beach itself is a mixture of sand and small rocks. At Trump itself, there is a very nice grass area with picnic tables scattered about to enjoy the view of Catalina and the ocean. Beautiful sunsets too. The dining room is a nice place to stop in for a drink and/or lunch and dinner. Overall it has something to offer most anyone: hiking, strolling, tide pool exploration (at low tide), or just chilling. I could only "select" one of the below, but this is great for all: couples, families with all ages of children, friends, business, and solo. And I could only select one date that I visited, but it is appropriate year-round and I go often.

The location is amazing. We don't golf but we love going there to hike and to have lunch at the outside patio where they serve hamburgers and hot dogs. Not too expensive and there are few places with a view like this one, you can see Catalina Island from tip to tip. We have seeing whales right from the deck while having lunch.

When we arrived the course was shrouded in fog. Looking out at the ocean was like looking at clouds from a plane. It burned off quickly to offer spectacular ocean views with Catalina Island in the distance. All holes are on the ocean, and there is nothing but great views all day long.The course was in great condition, and we really enjoyed our day there for the most part.When we arrived at the bag drop, the young man took my bag our of the trunk and dropped it on the ground. He picked it up and stood it up. Then he took my husband's bag out and proceeded to drop his bag too!When we went inside to pay(a lot), the young man from the bag drop came in to let us know that he had broken one of the legs on my bag, and it would no longer stand. There was no offer to repair or replace. The bathroom on the main level of the palatial clubhouse was found to be in need of cleaning. I understand that the management cannot be responsible for what other people do in a toilet stall, but they can be responsible for checking it frequently.I found the same thing when I used to on course restroom. Not only was it dirty, but the toilet seat was beat up and stained. There is no reason for not maintaining a high standard for the restrooms at such an expensive place. When I went inside to use the lower level restrooms at the turn, there was a keypad lock on the door. I walked back to a desk on the way and asked the man there what the code was, and he laughed and told me that that bathroom was just for players. already disgusted with the restroom situation there, I started to tell him that I was a player. He got up and unlocked the door for me, but did not give me the code. At least that restroom was clean.

Second time playing this course in just over a month.For us NV/AZ people it is an ocean experience. You really can't beat the views.The course played a little slower than last time & the Marshall wasn't as vigilant. Overall it's a beautiful course & I'd want to play it every time I'm in the area.Difficult, scenic & fun- can't beat that.

Stopped in for one final round on my Southern California swing, and thankful I chose here. Courses like this can be a little intimidating, but the staff was super friendly and helpful. Played the twilight round, and because the tee was open, they let me start early. If not for this, wouldn't have finished all 18. The course was tight. You've got to be in control off the tees, which is tough given the wind coming off the water. The course was in really good shape. Most of the greens putt true, but a couple had been well traveled and needed a new hole location. It's not in the shape of some of the really nice courses down the coast, but the late afternoon value rounds make it a must-play.

My husband and I golfed here twice last week. The slope rating for women was the highest I have ever played on. There was never a level place. Most holes were similar but the beauty of the ocean was spectacular. The employees were very accommodating and friendly.

I'm really surprised it's not ranked higher. Every single hole has an ocean view. The valet was friendly & efficient. The golf shop was nice & staff was friendly.The starter came by & checked on us a few times.The course is beyond scenic.Although a lot of the holes are similar it's still amazing as a whole. Maybe the tee boxes are a little beat up but that's really getting picky.It's a beautiful course with great staff. I can't wait to take more clients there.

Trump National is well worth the $280 for the views, but as golf course if was not a fun thing to do. Bring plenty of golf balls because the natural areas laid out between parallel fairways are off limits (I would go in them anyway). All of the fairways seem to be parallel. Contrived man made water falls gave it a Disney or put putt feel. Staff was great, club house was Trumpesque. (beautiful and a little "over the top"). I have been fortunate to play Trump National Bedminister and it was a real golf course.
