While President Barack Obama loves to play golf, he wasn't able to tee off during his recent trip to Westchester.
Several exclusive Westchester country clubs reportedly said no to the commander-in-chief's golf plans during his recent Labor Day visit.
Reports say the clubs, with annual memberships in the tens of thousands, included Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor, Willow Ridge in Harrison and Winged Foot in Mamaroneck.
News 12 reached out to the courses, but they refused to comment.
Golfers at Sprain Lake Golf Club in Yonkers said they would have loved to play with the president.
"I'd jump off a speeding train to play with Obama," said golfer Chris Trainor.
