Trump manages around 18 golf courses and resorts under The Trump Organization. It’s estimated that his revenue from golf and resorts was $382 million in 2015. He was the subject of a 2011 documentary about building a golf resort in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. He butted heads with locals over its construction and created only 200 jobs despite promising 6,000.

He bought another property in Scotland in 2014, the Turnberry hotel and golf resort in Ayrshire, which is regularly used during the British Open. He attempted to build an offshore wind farm in the area but was thwarted. Trump is an avid golfer with a 2.8 handicap.
