They were lucky not to be shot out the sky as the President's elite snipers aimed their guns at the aerial threat from the roof above.
The paraglider flew three miles across the Ayrshire countryside at 9.30pm – minutes after Trump arrived at the course.
They then circled the lawn in front of the Turnberry hotel where the US President is staying for the weekend.
A Greenpeace spokesman said police had been informed of the protest ten minutes prior to it being launched.
Greenpeace also claim they contacted Prestwick air traffic control by telephone and radio to inform them about the paraglider’s arrival.

"It is a criminal offence to fly within the airspace restriction zone and officers are carrying out enquiries to trace the pilot."

The security breach comes amid clashes between protesters and Trump supporters during a march through London yesterday afternoon.
Crowds chanted "shame on you" and waved "dump Trump" banners during a mass demonstration in the capital this afternoon.
Jeremy Corbyn, Ed Miliband and David Lammy were among up to 45,000 people to join the march through the capital's streets.
The Labour leader told the assembled protesters Mrs May shouldn't have "rolled out the red carpet" for the leader of the free world.
But many Tory MPs and fans of The Donald on Twitter pointed out that he had previously invited the IRA to Parliament and called Hamas his "friends".
