Trump's Turnberry Golf Course Raises Green Fees

British golf fans are outraged as Donald Trump's Turnberry resort in Scotland has announced a price hike to £1,000 per round, making it the most expensive golf course in the UK. Many golfers feel that they are being priced out of their own sport due to the influx of wealthy American players, with social media comments highlighting the stark contrast to previous prices that were around £100 before Trump's ownership. The new rates will take effect in 2025, with non-residents paying £1,000 before 1pm and £545 thereafter, while hotel guests will benefit from lower rates. Critics argue this pricing strategy may push regular golfers away from the sport, especially at iconic courses across Scotland, which are also raising fees. Despite the controversy, Turnberry remains highly regarded among golf enthusiasts, ranked eighth in Golf Digest's list of the world's greatest golf courses. The R&A has no immediate plans to host the Open Championship at Turnberry, citing concerns over the focus on the course rather than the event itself.
