Donald Trump made a May 27 visit to his Trump National Golf Club Washington D.C. in Sterling, Va., to play golf. The visit marked the 115th time the 45th President has visited one of his 17 golf clubs (and, for most of them, presumably played some golf) since becoming President on Jan. 20, 2017. This is his 116th visit to any golf course as President.
Trump arrived at the DC-area golf club at 11:30 a.m., per pool reports. The round of golf was his second of the weekend, and he was joined by Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, marking at least the third time the duo have played golf together.
Trump, in a golf shirt and golf hat, just jumped into black SUVs with Sen. Lindsey Graham, per pooler @shearm. "We have not been told where we are headed (though if you made a guess, you probably wouldn't need a mulligan.)"

Expect Trump to spend more weekends when in D.C. at this 36-hole facility which hosted the 2017 Senior PGA Championship, particularly as the weather improves from spring into summer.
RELATED: Why how often Trump plays golf matters
The White House doesn't typically acknowledge Trump was even playing golf. That is commonplace policy, particularly when Trump isn't playing with celebrities or pro golfers or doesn't have something to flaunt. Typically, the White House press pool indicates when Trump arrives at his golf clubs, then they are held in a holding location until Trump is done and moves to his next location.

All but one round of golf has been at his clubs, playing once in Japan in Nov. 2017 with Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe and Japanese star pro Hideki Matsuyama.
So far, Trump has been on the golf course or his clubs during some portion of the day for 21.2 percent of his presidency. He ended 2017 with 91 golf course visits and was just shy of 100 visits in Year 1 as President.
The Trump Administration, per typical policy, does not acknowledge that Trump is playing even a hole of golf, much less an 18-hole round. However, if he's going to the golf club for about 4-5 hours, you can be pretty sure he's playing golf. Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden has asked the White House to provide the names of Trump's golf partners, as well for his clubs to provide visitor logs to get a sense of when Trump has played golf and with whom.
The President is certainly entitled to some leisure time, and golf has been an outlet for most Commanders-in-Chief dating back to the early 20th century. However, the reluctance to even acknowledge that this President plays golf conflicts with his almost relentless criticism of his predecessor, Barack Obama, who played an estimated 333 rounds of golf as President.
