The National Links Trust, the non-profit that operates several National Park Service-owned golf courses in Washington, D.C., is not renewing its lease of the East Potomac Golf Links, paving the way for the course to close within the next three weeks.
The news comes as President Donald Trump’s Interior Department has aimed to reconstruct the links on the Potomac River, while facing legal pushback from the DC Preservation League, which has argued the administration has not followed the proper environmental or historic protocols and that the remodel of the public course could inflate tee time prices. The group’s lawsuit against the Trump administration has turned into a heated legal battle over the course’s future.
