Trump National Golf Club Washington DC


About this course
Trump National Golf Club Washington DC, located in Potomac Falls along the Potomac River, opened in 2009 on a property with significant elevation changes and natural water features. Arthur Hills designed the course to take advantage of the dramatic topography, with fairways that move through wooded corridors and along ridgelines offering views of the river valley. The routing incorporates substantial elevation shifts, with several holes playing uphill or downhill through the rolling Virginia terrain. The course features a number of holes that play along or near the Potomac River, particularly on the back nine, where the river comes into view and influences both strategy and scenery. Hills incorporated natural rock outcroppings and native vegetation throughout the design, maintaining a connection to the landscape while creating strategic challenges through bunkering and green complexes. The property's scale allows for generous fairway corridors, though accuracy remains important given the tree-lined nature of many holes. The club underwent renovations and rebranding after its acquisition in 2009, transforming from the previous Lowes Island Club. The facility includes extensive practice areas and a clubhouse positioned to overlook the course and river views. The course has hosted various regional amateur events and serves as a private club in the northern Virginia area, drawing membership from the Washington DC metropolitan region.

Getting there
The journey to Trump National Golf Club Washington DC begins at either Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), situated just across the Potomac River, or Washington Dulles International (IAD), both offering swift access to Northern Virginia within thirty to forty minutes depending on traffic patterns across the Capital Beltway. For those arriving by private aviation, Leesburg Executive Airport (LEC) lies a mere fifteen minutes north and provides a more discreet alternative befitting the club's exclusive character. The final approach winds northwest through the rolling horse country of Loudoun County, where suburban sprawl gradually yields to tree-lined estates and the Potomac River valley, before arriving at the gated entrance overlooking the water - a transition that marks the shift from the intensity of Washington politics to the measured calm of championship golf.
