3.4 million dollars for one session.
It is the amount that U.S. President Donald Trump spent at his villa, Mar-a-Lago Resort in Florida, USA, to make a round at Trump International Golf Club or Jupiter Golf Club, which is 10 minutes away. The cost is all tax.
Recently, HuffPost said, “President Trump has spent nearly 71 million dollars (about 104.4 billion won) in taxes on golf this year,” adding, “It is expected to spend as much as 300 million dollars (about 441.3 billion won) on golf during his second term.”
Trump, who spends a lot of taxes on his hobby of playing golf, has even appeared on a site that monitors the schedule and frequency of his rounds. According to the “Trump Golf Tracker” site, President Trump has reportedly played 77 rounds in 316 days until December 1 this year since he regained power in January.

During his first term in office, Trump spent $151.5 million (about 228.9 billion won) in taxes on golf-related travel and security. This amount has doubled.
First of all, the presidential aircraft, Efos One (Boeing 747) costs $273,063 (about 400 million) per hour. The round trip to Mar-a-Lago takes five hours, so the cost of the plane alone is 2 billion won. Trump Golf Tracker estimated that it would have spent about $15 million (about 20 billion won) on airfare alone.
In addition, the Secret Service has to stay in a Trump-owned Mar-a-Lago room costing 6.5 million won per night, and hundreds of millions of won is spent only on cart rentals chasing the president. This is not the only one. The Coast Guard also patrols around the clock and costs tens of thousands of dollars a day to control traffic.
Visiting his golf course in Badminster in New Jersey is a little cheaper. It costs about 1.1 million dollars per session. I also went on the most expensive golf trip this year. He visited in July to promote Trump International Golf Links Aberdeen in Aberdeen, Scotland, and reportedly spent nearly $10 million.
What were the former presidents like. Former President Joe Biden visited Wilmington and Rehobos Beach, Delaware, and it was cheap using small airplanes or Marine One helicopters. In addition, former President Barack Obama spent most of the round at the Andrews Air Force Base golf course, which would have cost little for transportation and security.
