The Menie Liberation Front group said the masks and golf clubs had been added to about 20 statues in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling. Mr Trump hopes to build what he has described as the "world's greatest" golf resort at Menie.
A spokesman for the protest group said: "We are dressing up famous Scottish statues as the American tycoon to symbolise the way Trump thinks he can walk over Scotland. This development has gone too far. Throwing families from their homes for a private development is outrageous."
The protest group - which has threatened further action - said no statues were damaged.
Sarah Malone, executive vice president of Trump International Golf Links Scotland, said: "This publicity stunt is perpetrated by a handful of individuals, and can only serve to tarnish our regional and national profile.
"Gimmicks such as this illustrate the lack of credibility of those involved and do a great disservice to local people. We are dealing with serious issues that need to be handled in a responsible and mature manner."
