Trump Announces 15-Month Renovation Plan for East Potomac Golf Course
President Donald Trump announced plans to close and redevelop the historic East Potomac Golf Course in Washington D.C. for 15 months of renovations.
Bakersfield, CA, October 18, 2026 —
President Donald Trump announced plans to close and redevelop the historic East Potomac Golf Course in Washington, D.C., for a 15-month period of renovations. The announcement outlines a planned closure and redevelopment, but the information provided does not specify when the work would begin or end.
The announcement describes the project as renovations, but does not provide details about the work, the course’s future design or how the redevelopment would change the site. It also does not say whether the closure would cover the entire course or include other facilities. No project budget, responsible contractor or schedule beyond the stated 15-month period was provided.
The course is identified in the announcement as historic. No further information was provided about its history, current operations or the reasons for the planned redevelopment. The announcement summary also does not identify other officials or organizations involved, or indicate whether any approvals or permits have been obtained.
As a result, the available details establish the broad outline of the plan: a closure tied to redevelopment and renovations, expected to last 15 months. They do not establish the project’s start date, specific scope or what arrangements, if any, are planned for visitors during the closure.
Further details about timing, construction plans and the course’s operations after the renovation were not included in the announcement summary. Until those particulars are provided, the 15-month duration is the only stated timeline for the work.
