Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf resort suffers disappointing profits | US news

Donald Trump’s luxury golf resort at Turnberry in Scotland earned much less than forecast last year, suggesting the repeated controversies about his conduct may have dented its popularity.

Trump Turnberry’s last accounts show the luxury hotel and golf resort in Ayrshire had an income of £15.2m in 2017 because its takings jumped after he spent more than £100m refurbishing its buildings and courses, and with rooms available at a steep discount.

In January last year, Turnberry’s general manager, Ralph Porciani, told the Guardian he expected 2017 to be the best-performing in the hotel’s history – more than a century – by beating its previous record takings of £16.2m in 2007 by 15% to 20%.
