President Donald Trump is an avid golfer and owns world-class championship courses all over the globe. Huffpost recently disclosed how much the 78-year-old has spent on golf outings since retaking office in 2025.

According to the report, Trump has spent a whopping $10.7 million of taxpayer's money to play golf on almost all weekends. The figure includes transportation, security, and other logistical requirements that come with his frequent trips to various golf courses.

The $10.7 million figure is based off a report in 2019 from the Government Accountability Office. The reference report was based on President Donald Trump's golf trips to Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, during his first term in office.

The report stated that Trump averaged $3,383,250 per golf trip with one-third of the cost being allocated towards flights. Huffpost disclosed that the President would also fly down two presidential limousines for safety and protection reasons.

While all the costs mentioned above were based on the dollar value in 2017, HuffPost extrapolated the costs and derived the costs for his other trips. During President Trump's first term, he spent over $152 million for 293 days of golfing.

Since retaking the White House on January 20, President Donald Trump played golf on 9 weekend days within the first month. He played golf thrice at his luxurious property in Florida. However, as the President made stops to play rounds while conducting business, the report did not account for these flight costs.
