We’re led alongside Trump’s overly grandiose clubhouse to a “floating” cabana, surrounded by fire pit-studded waters and overlooking the greens of the 18-hole course. Two golfers were finishing their round as the sun set. The golf club currently houses four food spots – we’re here to sample the Italian cuisine at Fifth Avenue.
