Many of the company’s golf courses are closed during the coronavirus pandemic, with a few exceptions in Virginia and New York.

The company's Twitter account has been posting videos of pro golfers at home calling Trump’s courses their “home away from home.” Trump Golf has posted other messages encouraging followers to “stay healthy and safe” during the deadly outbreak.

“On behalf of the entire team at Trump Golf, we hope you and your families stay healthy and safe during these uncertain times,” the company tweeted last month. “Our community is unshakable, our teams are vigilant and we live in the greatest nation on earth. We will overcome!”
