Trump-era plan moves forward to revamp DC's East Potomac golf course amid lawsuits

The National Park Service reached a deal with the National Links Trust and others to renovate East Potomac Golf Links, Langston Golf Course, and Rock Creek Park Golf in Washington, D.C., turning them into premier public courses while keeping them affordable, with renovations guided by NPS and overseen by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. The plan includes new facilities like a caddie academy and a training program, and could involve a partnership with the Washington Commanders. The agreement follows years of litigation over lease terminations and concerns that the project may stray from Congress’s intent to keep East Potomac as a public park, with opponents citing environmental and cost issues; litigation remains ongoing even as the deal aims to proceed with renovations and continued public access.
