President Donald Trump made a pit stop at his Turnberry course in Scotland Saturday during his trip overseas.

Trump landed in Scotland Friday for a five-day trip, and he is scheduled to visit his golf resort in Aberdee and meet with British Prime Minister Kier Starmer and the head of the Scottish government, First Minister John Swinney.

"The Great Gary Player: ‘Turnberry is, without a question, in the Top Five Greatest Golf Courses I’ve ever played in my 73 years as a Pro." Thank you, Gary!"Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The course hosted four Open Championships (1977, 1986, 1994 and 2009), but after the Capitol Riots in 2021, the Royal and Ancient (R&A) Golf Club announced that the Open Championship would not return there "until we’re confident that any coverage at Turnberry would be about golf, about the golf course and about the championship."
