I played there in January 09. Yes, it has great views, and the staff is friendly. It has some fun holes, but it's overpriced. A much better option is Pelican Hill in Newport Beach. It's $100 cheaper, you get the same views, the course is better and it has more amenities. I'd play Trump again, but only if it was half the price, but I'm glad I played it once, just to say I did it. But I wasn't happy putting money in Donald's pocket, and I still hate his hair.
