Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles

Donald Trump bought the Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles in 2002 for $27 million. The course is located in the community of Ranchos Palos Verdes. Trump claimed that the course was worth $50 million or more in his 2016 financial disclosure. This claim contradicts appeals Trump has made to lower the assessment value of the golf course to $14 million. Trump has reported two streams of income for his Los Angeles Golf Club. Golf related revenue was $15,635,196 in 2016. Land Sales accounted for $11,270,300 in 2016. Trump developed housing associated with the site, building fifty mansions worth millions of dollars each. Donald Trump has feuded with local officials and neighbors over illegally planted rows of ficus that obscured neighbors' views of the ocean.

Trump National Doral

Donald Trump purchased the iconic Doral golf course near Miami in 2011 for $150 million and promptly renamed it Trump National Doral. The deal was financed with a $125 million loan from DeutscheBank. DeutscheBank holds two mortgages on the property, worth more than $55 million. Both mortgages were issued in 2012 and mature in 2023. Invanka Trump reportedly led negotiations to purchase the course from the Winthrop Realty Trust. Trump claimed that the course was worth $50 million or more in his 2016 financial disclosure. Trump has aggressively appealed for local officials to reduce the course's assessed value, most recently having its assessed value lowered to $75 million. Trump has reported that the course earned income of $131,892,107 in 2016. Trump's attorneys argued in a 2014 tax challenge that the golf resort actually lost $2.4 million. Trump reported $49,448,432 of income for Trump National Doral in his 2015 financial disclosure.

Trump National Golf Club Jupiter

Donald Trump purchased Jupiter's Ritz-Carlton Golf Club & Spa in November of 2012 for an undisclosed sum, renaming it Trump National Golf Club Jupiter. Trump claimed that the course was worth $50 million or more in his 2016 financial disclosure. This valuation conflicts with claims Trump has made to local officials, where he has argued the course should be considered worth "no more than $5 million" for the purpose of assessing local property tax rates. Trump reported income of $17,903,803 for the course. Trump lost a federal lawsuit brought by former members of the club in February of 2017. When Trump purchased the club, the plaintiffs had been members of its "resignation list" - club members who had expressed an intention to leave the club, but were unable to resign until new members had been recruited to replace them. After assuming ownership of the club, Trump denied members on the resignation list access to the club, but continued charging them membership fees and refused to return their deposits. A judge has ordered the Trump Organization to pay the former members more than $5 million in damages. Trump's golf club in Jupiter is one of several Trump properties that has applied to hire foreign seasonal workers through the H2B visa program.

Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach

Donald Trump acquired and began development of Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach in 1999, for a reported cost of $40 million . Trump developed the course on land he leased from the local government. Trump obtained the lease in a legal settlement with local officials over airport noise above Mar-A-Lago. During development, local officials complained that Trump failed to honor terms of his contract requiring the use of minority contractors. When the course opened in 2000, golfers complained about being heckled by inmates of the Palm Beach County Jail , which overlooked the course. Trump claimed that the course was worth between $25 million and $50 million in his 2016 financial disclosure. Trump most recently reported $17,510,455 of income for the course. Trump's golf club in West Palm Beach is one of several Trump properties that has applied to hire foreign seasonal workers through the H2B visa program.
