Trump Proposes Converting Florida Golf Course Into Presidential Retreat
President Trump proposed converting one of his Florida golf courses into a presidential retreat for future presidents, describing it as a "sort of a Camp David" for quiet weekends.
Shreveport Texarkana, LA, October 7, 2026 —
Former President Donald Trump has proposed the conversion of one of his golf courses located in Florida into a presidential retreat. The concept, as described by Trump, would serve as a dedicated space for future presidents to use for quiet weekends, drawing a comparison to the existing presidential retreat, Camp David.
The proposal centers on utilizing one of Trump’s golf properties in the state of Florida for this new purpose. The stated intention is to create a facility that could offer a secluded environment for successive presidents. In his remarks, Trump characterized the envisioned site as “sort of a Camp David.” The specific golf course intended for this conversion was not detailed in the summary.
Camp David, officially known as the Naval Support Facility Thurmont, is a U.S. presidential retreat located in Maryland. It has served as a location for presidents and their families to relax and for leaders to conduct informal diplomatic meetings. The idea behind Trump’s proposal appears to mirror this function by offering an alternative or supplementary location for presidential respite and official use in Florida.
Details regarding the timeline for any potential development, the operational aspects of such a retreat, or any associated costs were not provided in the summary. The proposal remains a stated intention without further elaboration on its feasibility or implementation plans.
