Trump says work on East Potomac public golf course to begin in September
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that work would begin in September to overhaul Washington’s East Potomac Golf Links, promising to transform the century-old public golf course into one of the best in the world.
Trump said he decided to start work on the renovation after touring the site with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and golf course architect Tom Fazio earlier in the day.
“It was determined that, on this fantastic site, with water and unparalleled views of D.C.’s Monuments, we will build one of the Greatest Golf Courses anywhere in the World… The Course is virtually unplayable! Work on the new Course, which will go quickly, will begin on September 1st,” he said in a post on Truth Social.
The renovation comes after a non-profit organization and two residents in Washington sued the Trump administration to try to block the project.
The administration and the non-profit, National Links Trust, reached a deal in May to allow the organization to continue operating East Potomac Golf Links until federal officials overhaul it. Tagged: Capitol Hill BACK TO HOMEPAGE
