Before and during his campaign for the White House, Donald Trump made no attempt to hide his disdain for President Barak Obama's love of golf.

However, Trump, who owns or runs 17 different golf courses, 12 of which are in the United States (including the White House North, aka Trump National in Bedminster, N.J.), is putting Obama to shame.
Politifact reported that as of May 18, 2018, "the score of confirmed golf outings was Trump 56, Obama 37."
That's just the tip of the iceberg.

More details, per GolfNewsNet:
How many times has Trump played golf as President of the United States? Since taking office on Jan. 20, 2017, Mr. Trump has reportedly been on the grounds of his golf courses or played golf elsewhere 154 times since becoming President, and that's as of Sept. 1, 2018.
...
He previously was on pace to visit his golf clubs more than 650 times in an eight-year presidency. However, his pace as of Aug. 6, 2018 now indicates Trump would spend as much as 745 days of his presidency at a golf course if he wins a second term and serves both terms to completion. |
