"Long a favored getaway for presidents seeking a few hours' solace from the stress of running the free world, the Courses at Andrews - inside the secure confines of Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) from the White House - are known as the "president's golf course." Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Joe Biden have spent time there, and Barack Obama played it more frequently than any president, roughly 110 times in eight years."
"Trump has always preferred the golf courses his family owns - spending about one of every four days of his second term at one of them. But he's now enlisted golf champion Jack Nicklaus as the architect to overhaul the Courses at Andrews. Trump toured the base by helicopter before Thanksgiving with Nicklaus, who has designed top courses the world over. The president called Andrews "a great place, that's been destroyed over the years, through lack of maintenance.""
President Donald Trump has spent much of a two-week vacation in Florida golfing and has favored family-owned courses during his presidency. He has enlisted golf champion Jack Nicklaus to redesign and overhaul the Courses at Andrews, a military golf complex inside Joint Base Andrews about 15 miles from the White House. The Courses at Andrews are known as the "president's golf course" and have hosted multiple presidents; Barack Obama played there roughly 110 times. Andrews has two 18-hole courses and a 9-hole course and underwent alterations during a 2018 renovation tied to Air Force One hangar and support facility construction. Trump toured the base by helicopter before Thanksgiving and criticized lack of maintenance, while some golfers say the grounds remain in good shape.
