In 2025, the first year of his second term, President Donald Trump visited his golf clubs frequently, with trackers estimating he spent approximately 22.8% to 25% of his days in office at golf properties.
These figures come from independent monitoring sites and media reports based on public schedules.
Key Statistics on Donald Trump’s 2025 Golfing
- Total visits/days at golf clubs: Reports range from 79 (per DidTrumpGolfToday.com, excluding full December data) to 88 (per Trump Golf Tracker and Wikipedia summaries, full-year tally).
- Percentage of days:
- 22.8% according to DidTrumpGolfToday.com and The Independent (based on ~79 visits out of ~346-350 days from January 20 to late November/early December).
- Roughly 25% (or more than a quarter in some accounts) per The Daily Beast, Wikipedia, and year-end summaries, incorporating full 2025 data with 88 visits over the ~350 days in office that year.
- Calculation context: Trump’s second term began January 20, 2025, so 2025 covers ~346 days in office (until December 31). Percentages are derived by dividing golf club visit days by total days in office. Trackers note visits to clubs (e.g., motorcade arrivals), not always confirmed rounds played.
Notable Details from Reports
- Busiest months included August (10 days, every weekend) and March/November (9 days each).
- High-profile trips: Scotland in July (Turnberry and Aberdeenshire courses, including a new course opening) and frequent Mar-a-Lago/Bedminster visits.
- Trackers like DidTrumpGolfToday.com and TrumpGolfTrack.com use public schedules from sources such as Roll Call and Factba.se.
