Review
“You are greeted by a massive American flag blowing in the ocean breeze. Opulence everywhere throughout the facility. A demanding course off the tee with trouble everywhere. Green complexes will challenge even the best short game players. The views will keep you in a peaceful state of mind and should help remind you we are lucky to be alive!"

“The service was incredible. The staff was trying so hard I began to feel a little bad! It's all poa because of its proximity to the ocean. Great views of Catalina Island. The limited size of the property and the sideways slope does give it a bit of a constrained feel. But the details of the greens complexes really captured my imagination. However, thumbs down on the waterfalls. The volume of water makes them sound like jet engines - can't hold conversations near them."

“Go for the views! The course has an interesting layout, somewhat odd and repetitive at times. However, there are still some great holes that test all levels of golfer. Friendly staff made for a good experience as well."

“Way overrated by Trump. Nice views but a lot of up and back holes. The course seemed short and repetitive. It didn't live up to my expectations."
