Trump National Golf Club at Bedminster
About this course
Trump National Golf Club Bedminster stands as a testament to opulent golf, carved from the rolling hunt country of northern New Jersey. Its Old Course offers a stern, if not especially subtle, test, rewarding power and demanding stout ball-striking. Architect Tom Fazio sculpted the original layout, a modern parkland design characterized by generous fairways framed by thick rough and strategically placed bunkers. Its length favors long hitters, while undulating greens place a premium on precise approach shots and deft putting. Water hazards come into play on several holes, adding to the challenge, while the course rewards a fade. The club secured its place on the global stage hosting the 2017 U.S. Women's Open, an event remembered as much for the political climate surrounding its namesake owner as for the golf. Beyond the course, the club is known for its exclusivity and the membership is rumored to include titans of finance, industry, and entertainment, all drawn to the combination of challenging golf and luxurious amenities.

Getting there
Most visitors to Trump National Golf Club at Bedminster arrive through Newark Liberty International (EWR), roughly forty-five minutes east, though Teterboro Airport serves as the discreet gateway for those traveling by private jet. The drive west from Newark traces a gradual ascent from the urban corridor into the rolling horse country of Somerset County, where stone walls and pastoral estates replace suburban sprawl. As Route 206 gives way to Lamington Road, the landscape opens into the kind of manicured, old-money tranquility that has defined this corner of New Jersey for generations, before the property's grand entrance reveals itself amid the hills - a fitting threshold to one of the region's most commanding golf destinations.
