President Donald Trump has an extensive collection of golf courses.
Since acquiring its first club in 1999, the Trump Organization has, to date, collected 16 clubs with locations in the US, Europe, and the Middle East.
President Trump's golf courses are known to host world-renowned competitions. Just consider his club in Bedminster, New Jersey, which was the venue of the 2017 US Women's Open and will host the upcoming 2022 PGA Championships.
According to the Trump Organization, there are also three new sites currently under development: Trump World Golf Club in Dubai, Trump International Hotel in Lido City, Indonesia, and Trump International Golf Club and Resort in Bali, Indonesia.
The president has been seen golfing with top players like Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as well as celebrities like Kid Rock and Peyton Manning. He's also received criticism for the frequency with which he's gone golfing during his presidency. Since his inauguration, he's gone golfing at least 89 times across 195 golf course visits, according to an online tracker.
Business Insider compiled a list of President Trump's golf courses, along with their amenities from the Trump Organization.

Before the course opened in 2015, Business Insider reporters Jay Yarow and Tony Manfred tested the course out. They described the course as fun and not too difficult. They also applauded the nice views of the city's skyline, and the Whitestone Bridge.
President Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey spans over 600 acres and includes two 18-hole golf courses, tennis courts, a pool, and a fitness center.
This golf course has been the host of many important games. In 2017, it hosted the US Women's Open and in 2022 will host the PGA Championship.

Aberdeen, Scotland: Trump International Golf Links
President Trump's golf club in Aberdeen, Scotland includes an 18-hole links-style golf course, a 22-acre driving range, a whiskey bar, and a five-star hotel.
This golf course was designed by golf-course architect Dr. Martin Hawtree.
In June 2019, Business Insider reported that the sand dunes on the course are at risk of losing their protected status because they were damaged during the development process. The course opened in 2012, despite concerns that it would damage the unique habitat.
President Trump's golf club in Dubai includes an 18-hole course, a par-3 course,
a 30,000-square-foot clubhouse, a pool, a fitness complex, a luxury hotel, and indoor swing studios.
Last year, the company that manages the Dubai golf course more than doubled its income, according to The Daily Beast.
President Trump is also in the process of building another golf club in Dubai, which has been designed by PGA champion Tiger Woods.
