Overview
- Interior ended National Links Trust’s 50-year lease for East Potomac, Rock Creek and Langston after a default notice issued in late October.
- Officials said required capital upgrades were not completed and that rent was unpaid, while future plans for the courses were not disclosed.
- National Links Trust disputes the claims, says it was blindsided, and notes rounds and revenue more than doubled under its stewardship.
- The nonprofit will keep the courses open temporarily to prevent disruption, but long‑term projects have stopped as Rock Creek contractors demobilize.
- Trump recently floated potential renovations for the courses, prompting local concerns over affordability as the group weighs legal options.
