TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Mooresville, NC, USA
Designed by Greg Norman, Tad Burnett

Trump National Charlotte occupies rolling terrain along the western shore of Lake Norman, approximately thirty miles north of Charlotte. Greg Norman designed the course with Tad Burnett, opening it in 2009 on a site that takes advantage of the lake's presence and the Piedmont region's natural topography. The layout stretches across elevated ground with significant elevation changes, incorporating views of the water and surrounding woodlands characteristic of North Carolina's lake country.
The routing features several holes that play along or toward Lake Norman, though the water comes directly into play on a limited number of holes. Norman's design emphasizes wide fairways and large, undulating greens, with strategic bunkering that rewards accurate approach shots. The property's natural movement creates variety in stance and shot requirements, and the course plays longer than its measured yardage suggests due to the terrain. The par-3s offer particular variety in length and setting, while the par-5s provide risk-reward opportunities shaped by the land's contours.
The club operates as a private facility within the Trump golf portfolio, serving members from the greater Charlotte metropolitan area and Lake Norman communities. The property includes practice facilities and clubhouse amenities typical of upscale private clubs in the region. The course reflects Norman's design approach from this period, emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining strategic interest through green complexes and hazard placement rather than excessive length or forced carries.
Reviews
Really enjoyed my round out here at Trump Charlotte. The tee boxes were burnt out as it is the time of season where they do maintenance. A little steep on the rate for a visitor. 18th hole is really cool - a huge American flag flies high over the clubhouse, a bunch of boats gathered watching your approach shots, really cool experience
