Trump National Golf Club, Los Angeles is a public
Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles was formerly known as Ocean Trails Golf Club, an 18–hole course designed by Pete Dye, which was about to open when a landslide occurred in June 1999, and the 18th hole slid toward the Pacific Ocean. The Ocean Trails Golf Club subsequently went into bankruptcy, and on November 26, 2002, Trump bought the property for $27 million, intending to redesign the course.[2] It includes a 45,000 sq ft (4,200 m2) clubhouse.[2]
It is ranked among the Top 100 Courses You Can Play by Golf Magazine.[3]
The club is known for its views of the
At a total cost of $264 million, it would be the most expensive golf course ever constructed.
History
Trump National's predecessor, the Ocean Trails Golf Club, was part of a 150-acre (0.61 km2) property owned by developer Edward Zuckerman and a partner. Prior to the Zuckerman purchase, the property was used as a farm.
On June 2, 1999 the construction on the $126 million Ocean Trails golf course was almost complete and the course was close to its scheduled opening when a landslide unexpectedly occurred, caused by the sudden reactivation of ancient landslide C,
Also due to the slide, bike paths, walking paths, the edge of the
The landslide caused the Ocean Trails Golf Course construction project to go into bankruptcy. Covered by insurance funds, a massive geotechnical project was launched to reconstruct the 18th hole using 1,250,000 cubic yards of earth to fill it.[9] The stabilization work and the slide caused cosmetic damage to the course.[10] At the time, golf course historian Geoff Shackelford said that at the then projected cost of repair of more than $20 million, the 18th hole would have been "the most expensive single hole in history".[9]
After three years, legal issues between the involved banks and developers caused the geological stabilization work to stop.[10] In 2002 Donald Trump stepped in and bought the 300-acre (1.2 km2) property,[13] including the golf course, with the intention of finalizing construction and repairs by the summer of 2003. On January 20, 2006 the 18-hole Trump National Golf Club opened in Los Angeles. The reinforcement fill designed to stabilize the area affected by the slide is located under holes 17 and 18.[10] During the massive geological stabilization process the golf course was open for business.[5]
The geological stabilization process was based on a

In 2015, the course was to have become the host of the PGA Grand Slam of Golf.[16] The tournament was cancelled due to Trump's comments about illegal immigrants.[17] Sports teams and charities continued to move their charity-golf tournaments to other venues during his presidency.[18]
