"The Summer White House"[edit]

Donald Trump bought the property known as Lamington Farm along with the Lamington House from National Fairways in 2000, a minority partner of Lamington Farm Club LLC, a Connecticut-based golf course developer that had acquired it at a bankruptcy auction in early 2000. Bedminster Township in August 2001 approved Donald Trump's property for use as a golf course and country club.[87]

Trump's red brick Lamington House became Trump National's clubhouse and 11 single-family cottages were planned for development around the club area; the Tom Fazio designed golf course was opened in 2004. Located a short distance from the clubhouse in a separate "village", there's a 25-yard long swimming pool, spa, tennis courts, equestrian riding trails and of course, a heliport. Located next to the clubhouse and across from the pro shop, the men's locker area is situated in a two-story finished carriage house. In 2007, permits and plans were submitted to the Bedminster Land Use Board for a cemetery on the property just off the 1st hole on the golf course along with 10 family plots; the Bedminster Land Use Board Resolution was approved in 2013 via Resolution 2013-16.[88]

The summer of 2017 was President Trump's first year at what is now referred to as "The Summer White House" in the Lamington section of Bedminster Township, New Jersey. While President Trump has had numerous visits to his Bedminster estate, Aug 5-17, 2017 was designated his first summer working vacation. Based on all reporting, what was once named Lamington House is now coined the "Summer White House" of the 45th President of the United States.
