You can't see Defendant Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, from I-78. You take exit 26 and turn right on Rattlesnake Bridge Road, and then less than a mile later and you take a right on Lamington Road and you go about another mile before you take your third right onto the grounds of what is known as Trump National Golf Course Bedminster. The environs out there are country-clubby. There are two other country clubs off the same exit – the Fiddler's Elbow Country Club and the Lamington Farm Club, and most of the rest of the surrounding area could be called horsey – Rocking Horse Farm is nearby, as is Elite Equestrian International and Spook Hollow Farm.
I've driven I-78 out that way many times. It's not what you might imagine when you hear "New Jersey" and "interstate" in the same sentence. It goes through a leafy part of the state. Most of what you can see from the roadway are trees, with few of the usual interstate exits spiked with tall signs reading "McDonalds" and "Shell" and "Target." Just before you reach Exit 26, a row of trees screens off three holes of the Trump golf course. It's so close, you could throw a Coke can out of your car window and hit Trump Trail, running alongside the course between the interstate and one of the club's fairways.
