Review
“Supposedly Trump's favorite of his courses, Bedminster is an impressive facility with all the amenities and practice facilities you'd expect from a Club of this caliber. The prized course at this 36-hole Club is the "Old Course" built by Tom Fazio in 2004. This is a very challenging course clearly designed with tournaments in mind, and unsurprisingly it hosted the 2009 U.S. Junior Am, 2017 U.S. Women's Open and was slated to host the 2022 PGA before politics got in the way. In terms of challenging the world's best, Bedminster does a very good job. The conditioning is also excellent, as are the aesthetics with plenty of water, views of the surrounding hills, and classic Fazio bunkering. Risk/reward opportunities come at the par fives (1, 8, 15, and 18) as well as the shorter par fours such as 2, but much of the course is demanding and there's only one way to play each hole. With how polarizing a figure Trump is, it's sometimes hard to get an accurate assessment of his courses, but Trump Bedminster Old is an objectively excellent course and facility and certainly worth a play if given the chance."
