Trump’s #Dubai Golf Expansion Gets Delayed Until at Least 2022 - Bloomberg

Trump’s Dubai Golf Expansion Gets Delayed Until at Least 2022 - Bloomberg

The Trump Organization’s website has long listed the Trump World Golf Club in the expat hub of Dubai as “coming soon.”

But four years after it was supposed to open for business, the 18-hole course designed by Tiger Woods faces yet another delay in the city already dealing with a glut of development, this time until at least 2022, according to a senior employee involved in the operation.

When it opens, the project will test whether Trump’s corporate brand holds the same allure in a region where the former U.S. president has enjoyed broad support. And it comes as the company is figuring out its path forward with Trump out of office.

Grafted onto the desert and ringed by a luxury housing development, the golf course doesn’t yet display any of the typical, gold-emblazoned Trump signage. Instead, the name that’s ubiquitous is Damac Properties Dubai Co., the local developer and Trump partner that’s building the surrounding community, Akoya Oxygen.
