NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump will give up his golf course in the Bronx and his name will soon no longer appear on the club at the mouth of the East River.
The embattled former commander in chief sold the remainder of his 20-year lease for Trump Golf Links in Ferry Point to Bally’s, a casino operator. Bally’s is expected to keep the course in the Throgs Neck neighborhood, but will change the name.
The New York City Parks Department confirmed the lease transfer, saying they were “supportive” of the move and were “confident that they will provide a high-quality golf experience to New Yorkers.”
New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, a Democrat and Trump critic, also welcomed the move.
“I’m delighted that Trump’s name will no longer deface city parks,” Lander said.
Previously, former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio tried unsuccessfully to terminate Trump’s contract with the city-owned course, citing his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
