Donald Trump has made no bones about his desire to bring a U.S. Open to his imposing Tom Fazio course in Bedminster, New Jersey (conveniently located a half-mile from the sanctum where such decisions are made, USGA headquarters in Far Hills). The Bedminster project is Trump’s third private club, after Trump International in West Palm Beach, Florida, and Trump National in Westchester County, New York.
Opened in 2004, this golf course designed by Tom Fazio. The par 73, 7,565 yard golf course is truly a course for all skill levels. The course is walkable, hence, appreciating nature at its best is another added plus of this course.
Ranked 54th by Golf Magazine’s 100 Best Modern Courses and 49th on Golf Week’s Best Modern Courses, this Trump golf course has huge greens, wide fairways, immense tee boxes, and sprawling bunkers and still the course is very playable and easy to walk.
A second, 18-hole course will be designed and built by Tom Fazio II, who has worked closely with Donald Trump as his in-house golf course designer and builder for almost a decade. Tom is the son of acclaimed architect Jim Fazio and the nephew of fellow golf course design luminary Tom Fazio. The course is scheduled to open this year and will be the perfect complement to the existing golf course.
Please do note that this is a private course, and initiation fee is at $350,000 with a annual dues reaching $18,000.
