During an aerial tour of Andrews aboard Marine One,Trump stated that improvements are needed due to years of neglect and mentioned that at least two of the base&#8217;s three <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >18-hole courses require refurbishment<\/a>. Andrews, located about 15 miles from the White House, houses Air Force One and has historically been used by past presidents for golf. While Trump rarely golfs there,preferring his own courses,he emphasized the base&#8217;s recreational facilities need fixing,with nicklaus expected to oversee the redesign. Questions remain about funding and payment for the project since Andrews is military property. This initiative follows other high-profile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-terminates-military-border-wall-construction-cancels-contracts\/\" title=\"Biden Terminates Military Border Wall Construction, Cancels Contracts\">construction projects<\/a> commissioned by Trump at White House-related sites.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump says he&rsquo;s enlisting the help of legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus to spruce up the courses at Joint Base Andrews &mdash; adding a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/largest-disparity-in-eight-decades-millennials-face-unprecedented-hurdles-buying-first-home-starting-family\/\" title=\"\u2018Largest Disparity In Eight Decades\u2019: Millennials Face Unprecedented Hurdles Buying First Home, Starting Family\">site long<\/a> known as the &ldquo;president&rsquo;s golf course&rdquo; to his list of construction projects.<\/p>\n<p>The president took an aerial tour of the Courses at Andrews aboard Marine One on Saturday, and promised, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re going to do some work&rdquo; there, as well as to other parts of the base.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re doing some fix-up of the base, which it needs.

Gerald R. Ford was the first president to golf there in 1974, but the facility was most recently a favorite of Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<p>An 11th Force Support Squadron asset, the facilities include three 18-hole <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-shows-golf-shatters-unfounded-rumors-death\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">golf<\/a> courses, three practice putting greens, two private practice areas, and a driving range, according to the Andrews website.

The Nicklaus Design firm features a team that has completed more than 425 courses in 40 states and more than 45 countries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-trump-receives-epic-welcome-ryder-cup-crowd-gives-pep-talk-struggling-us-players\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a> said Saturday that the base at Andrews &ldquo;was a great place that&rsquo;s been destroyed over the years through lack of maintenance.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;So we&rsquo;ll fix that up, and Jack will be the architect and he&rsquo;ll design it,&rdquo; the president said.<\/p>\n<p>He also referenced, &ldquo;Two existing courses that are in very bad shape&rdquo; saying, &ldquo;We can &mdash; for very little money &mdash; fix it up.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And we&rsquo;re looking at other things over at Andrews,&rdquo; Trump added.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s comments immediately raised questions about who is paying Nicklaus, and how much such design services might cost. Given that Andrews is military property, who pays for improvements to its golf courses or other parts of its grounds was also unclear. Andrews deferred queries on the matter to the White House, which didn&rsquo;t respond to a request for more details.<\/p>\n<p>The potential Andrews redesign follows construction crews already having demolished the East Wing of the White House to make room for a $300 million ballroom that Trump commissioned. He&rsquo;s promised that it is being paid for by himself and private donors &mdash; including 37 individuals, firms, and charitable organizations that have publicly disclosed contributing to the project.<\/p>\n<p>Work on the ballroom follows Trump having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/visit\/\">replaced<\/a> the lawn in the Rose Garden with a patio area reminiscent of Mar-a-Lago, and redecorated the Lincoln Bathroom and Palm Room in the White House&rsquo;s interior. The president also installed a Walk of Fame featuring portraits of past presidents along the Colonnade, massive flagpoles on the north and south lawns, and substantially overhauled the Oval Office through the addition of golden flourishes, cherubs, and other items.<\/p>\n<p>The work at Andrews may eventually join another off-White House site project Trump has announced publicly: his plan to erect a Paris-style arch just west of the Lincoln Memorial.<\/p>\n<p>Trump ceded control of his family business to his children when he returned to the White House, but it has had ties to other courses designed by Nicklaus &mdash; including the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in the New York City borough of the Bronx and Trump National Jupiter in Florida. The Trump Organization sold its right to operate the Bronx course in 2023 to Bally&rsquo;s Corporation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Western Journal has not reviewed this Associated Press story prior to publication.
