The President of the United States is continuing to take time to invest in the golf community.
President Trump, 79, owns several top courses throughout the United States and Europe. He’s spent time at many of his U.S. courses since taking office in January. He’s also traveled to Europe to visit his courses abroad. The President of the United States made a special golf announcement this weekend, too.

President Trump explained the plan to reporters at the White House.
“We’re doing some fix-up of the base, which it needs. We’re gonna try and reinstitute the golf courses. I’m meeting with the greatest Jack Nicklaus,” Trump told reporters on Friday. “He’s involved in trying to bring their recreational facility back.”

The course is located about 15 miles outside of Washington, D.C. It has three 18-hole golf courses, three practice putting greens, a driving range and two private practice areas.
“So we’ll fix that up, and Jack will be the architect and he’ll design it,” the president said.
President Trump added: “Two existing courses that are in very bad shape” saying, “we can — for very little money — fix it up.”
“And we’re looking at other things over at Andrews.”

President Trump loves his golf, but U.S. citizens are warning him to not spend too much time in the golf world. He has more important things to focus on, after all.
“You’re telling me the President has time to consult golf course design while sitting in office? People are going to have a field day with this…” one fan wrote.
“What does DOGE have to say about having golf courses on military grounds?” one fan added.

“What next? First Tiger dating Don Jr’s Ex, and now Jack doing course design for him. Soon, he’ll have Jack designing a course for him on the future Qatar Air Force Base in Idaho, tax free of course,” one fan added.
“This seems like a real priority in your country, especially when people can’t afford healthcare!” one fan added.
