Please Hold For Mr. Trump

golf_4.jpgChris Baldwin at Travelgolf writes about the phone call he received from The Donald about Ocean Trails Trump National L.A.'s inability to crack the Top 10 in southern California.

I'm still waiting for The Donald to call and question my take on the course.

Hey Donald may be a jackass the Travelgolf writer's top 10 list is ridiculous.

You'll notice that the LPGA didn't love the course enough to include it on the 2006 schedule...
Probably had something to do with the horrible crossover from 9-10 and again from 11 to 12 that forced players and caddies to take cart-shuttles between the holes...
Granted, there are some SPECTACULAR sunset vistas from the top tier of holes, but this course doesn't have a prayer against Pebble, or any of the other Monterey Peninsula courses.
Even SANDPIPER is closer to the ocean, and has better ambience and layout to boot....
This is a check-the-box course, you've got to play it once and "Check the box" and then save your money for a FUN course...
