USA Today is saying they tracked down members using different public sources in an attempt to help identify conflicts of interest that might exist. Trump's golf courses bring in upwards of $600 Million annually. What they found were a large number of Lobbyists and CEOs which in itself is unsurprising.

Not sure how I feel about this. The clubs don't make their member lists public. There's really no way to identify for sure when people became members. It's wouldn't be surprising at all for these people to have been long term members before it became politically beneficial.
On the other side, Trump has been incredibly secretive on the source of his money so conflicts that might exist aren't easily identified.
