The golf course sits off Donald Ross Road about a half-hour drive north of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, where he and his family have been spending time for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Mar-a-Lago was slated to host its lavish annual New Year’s gala later Saturday.

A club member tweeted a photo of Trump on the course, saying he was accompanied by about 25 Secret Service agents, The Associated Press reported.

David Markus of Miami was spending some time at the golf club to celebrate the New Year’s holiday when he and his family spotted Trump. He snapped a few photos of Trump, including one with Markus’ three daughters taken near the club’s pool. Markus said Trump started his golf game around 9:30 a.m. and ate lunch around 2 p.m. before leaving the club.
