President Donald Trump has threatened to withhold wildfire relief aid to California unless the state distributes more water to the Los Angeles area.
His golf course would benefit from that plan.
The Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles is perched on the Pacific Ocean. It features sweeping water views, with 18 holes of bright green turf dotted by wind-swept natural brown landscaping.
State water restrictions, fueled by historic drought and climate change, have hit Southern California golf courses significantly in recent years, driving up costs and causing clubs to rip out turf and let major parts of the course go brown. Golf courses in Southern California have had to cut their water usage almost in half since 2009, according to the Southern California Golf Association.
