Trump Administration Plans to Close East Potomac Golf Links

The Trump administration announced plans to close the East Potomac Golf Links, a historic municipal course. The closure is scheduled for November 15, as part of a redevelopment initiative proposed by the president. This decision comes nine days after Justice Department lawyers assured a federal judge that there was no plan to shutter the golf links.

The announcement was made late Wednesday, prompting attention and speculation regarding the future use of the peninsula.

The municipal course has been a notable site, and its closure marks a significant change in the area’s landscape. The administration aims to move forward with the redevelopment plans despite previous assurances to the contrary.
