Top 100 what? I can't see it being top 100 world. More moonscape than golfscape. Certain architects have inadvertently trained us to be appreciative of artistic work while claiming not to be artists! I don't see the art in the pictures so far.

Agreed. Without wishing to be too much of a cynic, the power of marketing and PR should get it there no matter what but thats not to say it shouldn't be there in merit. As interesting as the pictures were on the other thread you'll only ever really know how good it is by playing it.

I'm not sure why this is the case.  It's not like many (or even any?) of Trump's other properties are on the Top 100 lists.

There is a lot of hype surrounding this course (though I am not sure this is a positive because of a possibility of disappointing vs. very high expectations), but I really don't see a top 100 ranking as any type of certainty.

Trump National (Bedminster) is ranked by Golfweek and Golf Magazine.  Trump International (West Palm Beach) is ranked by Golf Magazine.
