The new Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes near Los Angeles is better than Pebble Beach Well so says hype meister owner Donald Trump He also bragged that nobody has better lawnmowers than us Forgive him his enthusiasm It took three years 264 million and a million cubic yards of relocated earth to turn Pete Dye s punishing former Ocean Trails Golf Course into this fun and forgiving track Redesigned by Trump and Tom Fazio the 7,150 yard course is big and brash just like the Donald It sports wide fairways bunkers lined with pulverized marble and Pacific views on every tee The most memorable hole is the 238 yard par 3 17th with a 45 foot waterfall that mists your cart as you motor to the green It s equal parts golf hole and water ride which is fitting because when your round is over you ll want to get in line and go again
