He made no plea and was released on bail pending a further court date.
Police were called to the Trump Turnberry course on Maidens Road, Turnberry, South Ayrshire, at about 4.40am on Saturday March 8.

Red paint was sprayed on the clubhouse at the 800-acre resort and damage was also caused to the greens.
Posting on his Truth Social account on Sunday, Mr Trump branded anyone involved in attacking the course a “terrorist” and said he hoped they would be “treated harshly”.
Protest group Palestinian Action, which claimed responsibility for the vandalism, responded to Trump's claims.
The group sent out a statement, saying: "Donald Trump, may not be able to get even the simplest of facts right, but his statement shows Keir Starmer's ambition to be Trump's supine lapdog, allowing him, and the Israeli state and arms companies, to interfere in the British judicial process, while supporting the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
"While Trump whines about his golf course, and Starmer consoles him, US-supplied bombs continue to pound Gaza to rubble, with the aim of the destruction of the entire Palestinian population.
"We look forward to the day both these murderers, and the other complicit Western leaders face justice."
