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.

Tournament Canceled Due to Trump's Campaign Racism

In July of 2015, PGA of America canceled plans to hold its Grand Slam of Golf at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles. The tournament was canceled in response to Trump's racist remarks about Mexicans at the outset of the 2016 US Presidential campaign.[1]

  1. "I've been very loyal to golf," Trump said Tuesday in a telephone interview. "I own 17 clubs. They all do great. We will see whether or not golf is loyal to me." That is the question after the P.G.A. of America on Tuesday became the first major golf organization to pull an event from one of Trump's properties in response to Trump's racially insensitive remarks last month about Mexican immigrants during a speech in which he announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president. The P.G.A. Grand Slam of Golf -- a year-end exhibition among the winners of the four men's major championships -- was scheduled for October at Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles. Instead, it will be moved to a yet-to-be-determined location. Trump said it was a mutually agreed upon move to protect his friends in the organization from dealing with potential backlash over his remarks, in which he said, referring to Mexican immigrants: "They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists." He later added, "And some, I assume, are good people." (New York Times, July 8, 2015)
