Trump Turnberry Sets £1,000 Green Fee

Donald Trump's Turnberry golf course in Scotland is set to become the most expensive golf course in the UK, charging up to £1,000 ($1,282) for a round before 1 PM starting next June. The new fees are aimed at prioritizing tee times for hotel guests and members, as general manager Nic Oldham explained that this strategy is part of a broader business model for the resort. Previously, golfers could play the renowned Ailsa course for about £150 ($192) before Trump acquired the resort in 2014. The price hike has drawn significant backlash from golf fans, who have taken to social media to criticize the steep increase. Critics argue that the exclusivity of the pricing is unreasonable, particularly in a country where weather conditions can be unpredictable. With this adjustment, Turnberry will surpass the current record holder, Shadow Creek in Las Vegas, positioning itself as not only the most expensive in the UK but potentially the world.
