“But, after many years of horrendous maintenance and little money devoted to the process of upkeep, we have determined that this location can bring tremendous success and prestige back to Washington, D.C.”
President Donald Trump announced on social media Sunday that East Potomac Golf Links in Washington, D.C., will undergo a renovation starting September 1. Trump, after a personal tour of the course, described it as suffering from years of neglected maintenance and insufficient funding, but said the location could bring prestige back to the city. He stated his intention to build one of the world’s top public golf courses, capable of hosting major tournaments like the U.S. Open. Architect Tom Fazio, who has designed hundreds of courses globally, will oversee the project. The announcement follows a lawsuit from the nonprofit National Links Trust and two residents attempting to block the renovation; the Trust had previously reached an agreement to keep operating the course until federal officials take over.
