Trump Ferry Point Still Opening April 1st

...in spite of the weather, which was delivering snow and sub-freezing temperatures last week in New York.

Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post tells the course's backstory and previews Wednesday's opening for public play. Naturally, The Donald proffered a humble take on the Jack Nicklaus-designed public course.

“There’s never been anything like this ever built in the history of golf,’’ Trump told The Post. “You have a world championship course that fronts the East River that has among the most magnificent views of the city. The skyline of New York is the backdrop for many of the holes.

“No. 1, Jack Nicklaus has done a great signature course. No. 2, it’s a phenomenal piece of land that can hold big events. No. 3, it’s the best location I’ve ever seen for a golf course because you’re right outside Manhattan. They can have people taking buses from Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue.

Too bad it's not in a temperate climate!
