Where are Trump's golf courses? See list after new course opening in Scotland
President Donald Trump capped his trip to Scotland with a ribbon-cutting at his newest 18-hole course. The new course at the Trump International Scotland near Aberdeen is set to officially open Aug. 13, according to the website. Trump's sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization, joined the president at the July 29 course opening event. "We'll play it very quickly, and then I go back to D.C. and we put out fires all over the world," Trump said in his remarks at the event. "We stopped a war. But we've stopped about five wars, so that's much more important than playing golf. As much as I like it, it's much more important." Trump had said ahead of his trip that he was traveling to talk trade, and he did announce a deal with the European Union ahead of his looming tariff deadline. But he traveled with family not only to the resort near Aberdeen, but also to the Trump Turnberry resort on Scotland's west coast. Where else could the president travel to play golf at one of his own courses? More: Viral video showing Trump in Scotland leads to golf cheating accusations Where are the Trump Golf courses located?

Here is the list, according to the website: Eric, Don Jr. join President Trump at golf course opening in Scotland The president's eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, manage the Trump Organization, and Donald Trump still owns it. Ethics have long been a concern for the potential for the family to profit off the presidency. Eric Trump, his wife Lara Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and his girlfriend Bettina Anderson all flew to Aberdeen from the other side of Scotland with the president and the U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the White House said. "We had an unlimited budget, and we exceeded it," Eric said of the new golf course. "This was his Mona Lisa." Trump's mother Mary Anne MacLeod was born in Scotland and emigrated to New York in the 1930s. The Trump resort near Aberdeen has buildings with her name.

Bryson DeChambeau lobbies for British Open to return to Trump-owned Turnberry
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — Bryson DeChambeau appears to have a good relationship with President Donald Trump, with the pair once enjoying a round of golf that has been watched more than 15 million times on YouTube. Now the two-time major champion is doing some British Open campaigning for him. DeChambeau said Friday he's all for Trump's Turnberry course in Scotland hosting an Open for the first time since 2009. Turnberry has hosted four Opens — in 1977, 1986, 1994 and 2009 — but infrastructure hurdles have kept it from appearing more frequently in the rotation. Trump bought the resort in 2014. 'I look at it as a golf course,' DeChambeau said of the stunning links venue along the Ayrshire coast. 'It's one of the best golf courses in the world, and I'd love for it to be a part of the rotation. 'Albeit I haven't played it, I've heard so many great things about it, and anytime you get to play a special historical golf course like that, I think it's worthy of it, for sure.' Turnberry is still in the R&A's 10-venue Open rotation but isn't playing an active role. It last hosted the Open 16 years ago — before Trump bought the resort — when 59-year-old Tom Watson bogeyed the 72nd hole and lost in a playoff to Stewart Cink. Watson won the first Open at Turnberry 32 years earlier in the famed 'Duel in the Sun' with Jack Nicklaus. Speaking before the Open this week at Royal Portrush, R&A chief executive Mark Darbon said transportation and other issues had to be addressed before Turnberry gets its hands on the oldest major championship again. Darbon said the R&A met with Eric Trump and other leaders of Trump Golf a few months ago regarding the 'big logistical challenges' facing Turnberry and that the talks had been constructive. DeChambeau believes Trump would make Turnberry a special Open venue. 'He'd still probably respect the R&A and what they're trying to accomplish,' DeChambeau said. 'I can't speak on his behalf, but what I can say is knowing him, he'll do his best of a job as he possibly can.' DeChambeau's relationship with Trump is such that he joined him on stage at an election party in Florida in November before Trump was declared president again. DeChambeau also had a round of golf with Trump and some short-game practice on the South Lawn of the White House a few months ago. Around this time last year, they attempted to break 50 off the forward tees at the president's Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey using a scramble format. It went on YouTube and was a huge success. 'Got like 15 million views or something,' DeChambeau said. 'It was fun.' DeChambeau was speaking after shooting a 6-under 65 in the second round Royal Portrush in a bid to make the cut, having opened with a 78.
