So would getting rid of the golf course, which I have played for 25 years, including yesterday. It is a fun, affordable course.
There are currently 36 holes, including two 9-hole courses that are perfect for teaching kids to play.
Trump is going to replace that with a (presumably much more expensive) 18-hole course that will take much longer than 15 months to make.
The course is in an amazing location but it has never been in amazing shape and I’d love for someone invest some money in it.
But the renovation should be consistent with its current role of making golf accessible. There are plenty of courses in the DC area that are already capable of hosting pro tournaments.
Trump releases his plan to re-do the East Potomac Park golf course in DC. His graphic does not show the current road which runs around Hains Point, or the picnic and memorial areas at the end. Getting rid of those public areas would be terrible.
