President Trump owns several prominent golf courses around the world, but one of them remains “under review.”
The President of the United States has been in office since January. Since taking office, President Trump, 79, has played several rounds of golf. President Trump owns courses in New Jersey, Virginia, Florida and Europe. However, one of them remains “under review,” due to his legal issues.
President Trump’s prestigious course in Bedminster, New Jersey is under review due to his legal issues. President Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in New York last year. New Jersey laws prohibit a person convicted of a crime “involving moral turpitude” from having a liquor license. President Trump’s prestigious New Jersey course needs a liquor license to sell beer, wine, etc. at the course.
You can’t really have a country club without a liquor license, can you?

The New Jersey course received a last-minute extension from New Jersey, giving the golf club six months to sell alcohol while its liquor licenses are being reviewed.
“It comes with hefty conditions, though, that require the clubs to put proceeds from liquor sales in an untouched account, separate from the clubs’ other income, and prohibit any members of the LLCs that own the liquor licenses from profiting off the sales,” the report states.
“As of now, the golf clubs’ liquor licenses are held by two separate LLCs, which are owned by the Trump Organization, which is operated by the president’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.”
The New Jersey Attorney General had previously determined that President Trump was a beneficiary of the club’s liquor sales. Both of the LLCs that own the courses are listed in President Trump’s revocable trust.
President Trump’s course and LLCs have until September 30 to provide information about “the corporate structure, ownership, and beneficiary interests” of the club.
Failure to do so could result in the temporary permits being taken away.
