It was in 2002 when Donald Trump bought a 520-acre property, previously known as Lamington Farm, for less than $35 million. Later on, he hired Tom Fazio and Tom Fazio II to design a 36-hole golf course, which finally started in 2004.

Later on, in 2009, the Trump National Golf Club hosted its first significant golf event, the US Junior Amateur Championship. In the same year, it also hosted the US Girls’ Junior Championship.

It was in 2017 when the venue hosted its first major golf event, the US Women's Open. It even got a chance to host the PGA Championship in 2022. But, in 2021, when Donald Trump was accused of supporting the United States Capitol storming, the PGA of America stripped the tournament out of the course.

The Trump National Golf Club also hosted the wedding of Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump's daughter, in October 2009.

Trump applied to build a family cemetery and a classical mausoleum at the estate and he received the approval in 2015. He even wishes to be buried at the Bedminster golf course.

As per reports, his wife, Ivana Trump was buried at the family cemetery on July 20, 2022.

Last year, the course hosted the third-ever event of the newly launched league, in the presence of former US President Donald Trump. And now, in 2023, the league is back at the venue to conduct the eleventh event of their second season.

As mentioned earlier, the LIV Golf Bedminster season will be played at the Trump National Golf Club and will follow a 54-hole format.
