Overview
- Interior and the National Links Trust reached a new agreement that returns day‑to‑day operation of East Potomac, Langston, and Rock Creek to the nonprofit under revised terms.
- NLT signed long‑term leases for Langston and Rock Creek and will run East Potomac on an interim basis during planning for a major rebuild that must still clear required reviews.
- Renovation work at Rock Creek will resume, and the Interior Department says East Potomac will be redesigned by architect Tom Fazio to meet championship standards.
- The deal keeps fees low, with tee times under $50 across all three courses, and NLT’s co‑founders publicly thanked President Trump for approving the agreement.
- The decision reverses January’s termination of NLT’s 50‑year arrangement, which had halted renovation already underway at Rock Creek.
