Trump buys two courses in

north-east America


Donald Trump not only builds golf courses, he buys ready-made ones.
The American billionaire has paid undisclosed sums to become the owner of one course in the south of New Jersey State and another in Hudson Valley, New York State.
Dan Scavino, executive vice president of the Trump Organisation's Trump Golf Division, said that the Pine Hill Golf Club in Pine Hill, New Jersey, would be renamed Trump National Golf Club-Philadelphia. Scavino would not say how much his boss paid for the Tom Fazio-designed course, which offers views of the Philadelphia skyline. The more widely-known Pine Valley Golf Club is a neighbouring course.
Scavino said the company plans to convert the semi-private course into a luxury private members club.
Trump also has bought Branton Woods Golf Club at Hopewell Junction, New York. It will be renamed Trump National Golf Club-Hudson Valley.
