Trump Proposes Developing Florida Golf Course into Presidential Retreat
Donald Trump has proposed developing one of his Florida golf courses into a presidential retreat for future presidents, envisioned as a "Camp David" style facility.

Rockford, IL, October 7, 2026 —
Donald Trump has put forward a proposal to transform one of his golf courses located in Florida into a presidential retreat facility. The envisioned space would serve future presidents and is being conceptualized in the style of Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.
The specific Florida golf course designated for this development has not been publicly identified in the proposal. Further details regarding the scope of the development, potential timelines, or any official steps taken towards its realization were not provided. The concept aims to create a dedicated, secure location for presidents akin to the established Camp David model, which has historically served as a venue for presidential activities and diplomatic meetings.
The proposal comes from Donald Trump, a former U.S. president, and focuses on leveraging existing property for a new national purpose. The idea of a presidential retreat styled after Camp David suggests a desire to offer a comparable resource for successor administrations. The details surrounding the project, including its funding, construction, and operational aspects, remain unspecified.
As of the reporting of this proposal, information regarding any necessary permits, architectural plans, or environmental impact studies has not been made available. The potential scale and features of this Florida-based retreat are currently undefined, beyond the general comparison to the existing Camp David facility.
