The furloughs are temporary but the club doesn't know when it will resume regular operations, Gill said.
None of the workers are unionized.
It isn't the only Trump resort in Florida to furlough workers.
The Trump National Doral Miami resort where President Donald Trump initially wanted to host this year’s Group of Seven summit also has temporarily laid off 560 workers.
The furloughed workers at Mar-a-Lago include bartenders, cooks, dishwashers, drivers, attendants, housekeepers, servers and valet attendants.
Mar-a-Lago serves as Trump's refuge from Washington, and the president often spends his time there mixing work, business and pleasure in the company of dues-paying members.
