Rod Trump is a passionate golfer who was looking for a golf course to purchase. Rod discovered High Pointe in Northern Michigan, which was Tom Doak’s first golf course design which had opened in 1989 as a daily fee facility and closed in 2009, a victim of the Great Recession. Rod, working with Tom, is reviving High Pointe as an elite national golf club. We talk with Rod about his journey in the game, his baseball exploits growing up in Baltimore, his early experience caddying at Caves Valley, his business career in tech and subsequently as an angel investor, and what led him to pursue ownership of a golf course.
