Trump National - Philadelphia
Located less than a couple of miles from Pine Valley Golf Club, the recently acquired course at Trump National - Philadelphia is a Tom Fazio 18-hole layout that was formerly known as Pine Hill Golf Club.
Located on the site of a former ski resort, Pine Hill Golf Club opened to a great fanfare of publicity when it opened its doors to members at the start of the new millennium. Less than a decade later, the property was purchased by Donald Trump and rebranded as Trump National Golf Club - Philadelphia.
Occupying 365 acres of hilly, sandy terrain overlooking the distant Philadelphia skyline, the course lies less than a couple of miles to the east of Pine Valley Golf Club and it’s here that designer Tom Fazio skilfully routed the fairways across a thickly wooded landscape, bringing water into play at three of the holes (5, 14 and 15).
Trump National is a tough track, bearing many of Fazio’s aesthetically attractive hallmarks, with more than a modicum of strategy thrown in for good measure, such as at the 471-yard downhill par four 14th, where the fairway doglegs markedly right towards the green..
In 2026 the course began undergoing a full bunker renovation.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
