Preservation group asks judge to block reported Trump’s planned renovation of East Potomac Golf Course

A preservation watchdog group asked a federal judge Sunday to block the Trump administration from going ahead with reported plans to close East Potomac Golf Links for renovations.

NOTUS reported Friday that landscaping, deferred maintenance and tree-clearing work would begin on Monday at the course, located on Hains Point outside of Washington, D.C. The course will be renovated at a later date, with architect Tom Fazio expected to lead the project, the outlet reported. 

The DC Preservation League and two residents initially filed suit against the administration in February. The group’s latest filing asks U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, an appointee of former President Biden, to block the administration from dumping dirt, debris or refuse from the White House East Wing construction project at the course and from taking other steps to renovate it.

Construction crews have for months dumped debris from the East Wing demolition on East Potomac’s white course, with the orange pile sitting in the middle of the layout.
