    Well I’m completely missing something then. If there’s no golf then what’s the place for?

    Also, grass parking with a half empty parking lot?

      It was originally built as a presidential residence.

      Then Trump bought it after the US Government offloaded it and much later it’s now technically a presidential residence.

      I’m assuming that the the grass on the lake/intracoastal side (left hand in the photo) is parking for events and tennis. But the place is basically a dinner club. I’ve only ever been to the older clubs (used to date a girl whose family was generationally loaded and were members at the Beach, Sailfish, and Everglades clubs—none of which wouldn’t admit Trump as a member, which is why he turned Mar-a-Lago into a club in the first place). But they’re just overwrought places where the ultra rich socialize, eat, and have fancy parties.
