President Trump said the federal government will start work on the public course Sept. 1 and reopen it after redesign. The project follows a May agreement with the National Links Trust and a recent court ruling on notice requirements.
dailykos.comPresident Trump said the federal government will begin renovating East Potomac Golf Links on Sept. 1, with plans to reopen the redesigned public course after construction. The announcement came after Trump toured the course Sunday and posted on Truth Social.
"Along with fixing D.C.'s Monuments, we will build one of the Greatest Golf Courses anywhere in the World which, importantly, will also be made available to the Public," he wrote. "When completed, this Course will have the ability to host Major Golf Tournaments, including The U.S. Open, The Ryder Cup, The PGA Championship, and other top PGA Tour events," Trump said.
Background on the project Trump officials reached a deal with the National Links Trust in May to keep the Potomac and two other D.C. golf courses open after the administration terminated the nonprofit's 50-year lease with the National Park Service. The agreement comes days after a judge ruled in a lawsuit brought by the nonprofit D.C. Preservation League that the administration couldn't overhaul the Potomac without advance notice.
The renovation is part of a series of federal projects in Washington, D.C., that also include a planned ballroom, a repainted reflecting pool and a proposed arch.
Department and National Links Trust did not immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday afternoon. While Trump said work on the course would "go quickly," legal and preservation issues surrounding the federal property could continue to shape the project's timeline.
