What To Know<\/p>\n
Trump Turnberry, located on Scotland\u2019s west coast, was purchased by Trump in 2014, and boasts two 18-hole golf courses as well as a five-star hotel and spa.<\/p>\n
Last year, the golf club\u2019s revenues rose by 15 percent, but it still made losses of \u00a3632,000, or around $847,500, according to recently filed financial statements.<\/p>\n
This was down from losses of \u00a31.7 million, or around $2.3 million, the previous year.<\/p>\n
The financial report notes that the record sales were largely the result of demand from \u201cgroups and leisure travelers.\u201d<\/p>\n
This summer the club had some of the highest fees in Britain, charging up to \u00a31,000 for non-resort guests teeing off before 1 p.m., dropping to \u00a3545 afterward, according to the Daily Telegraph. Prices have dropped now outside of peak season.<\/p>\n
The president visited Turnberry as recently as July, where he met with European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen <\/a>and announced a U.S.-EU trade deal.<\/p>\n Turnberry hosted the British Open several times before Trump bought it, most recently in 2009, and Trump has since been pushing to host again.<\/p>\n The Royal and Ancient (R&A), which organizes the championship, previously suggested it would not be held at Turnberry under Trump’s ownership, with the previous CEO Martin Slumbers stating: “We will not be taking any events there until we are comfortable that the whole dialogue will be about golf.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n However, the new chief executive Mark Darbon\u00a0said in April that he “would love” to host the Open at Turnberry, but that there were some logistical challenges around the venue’s infrastructure.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s second golf club in Scotland, in Aberdeen, also posted losses for 2024.<\/p>\n Trump Golf<\/a> lists 18 clubs on its website, of which most are in the U.S. with others in Scotland<\/a>, Ireland and Dubai.<\/p>\n Of these, some are in the process of development, including in Indonesia and Oman.<\/p>\n What People Are Saying<\/p>\n Trump Turnberry said in its 2024 financial report: \u201cOngoing investment from the owners in the resort, and in particular the championship golf courses, will ensure the property\u2019s continued growth into 2025 and onwards.\u201d<\/p>\n What Happens Next<\/p>\n The resort hopes for further growth in 2025, but Trump’s dreams of hosting the British Open at Turnberry are unlikely to come to fruition soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of President Donald Trump\u2019s golf clubs in Scotland recorded its highest-ever sales in 2024.
