“Dear PoPville,
National Links Trust is the non-profit that manages the three municipal golf courses in DC. The Trump Administration is planning to terminate their lease and take over the golf courses as early as this week.
Here is a good analysis on the situation.
The community needs to be aware that one of DC’s greatest natural and recreational resources is about to be co-opted for Trump and his billionaire friends.”
Statement from National Links Trust:
“National Links Trust appreciates the President’s interest in the DC golf courses and looks forward to the opporuntiy to partner with the administration to improve these historically significant facilities. We respectfully disagree with the characterization that we are in default of our lease. In the five years since signing the lease, National Links Trust has worked hand in hand with the National Park Service through the extensive permitting and compliance processes required for these comprehensive renovation projects, the renovation of the Rock Creek golf course, where we are currently under construction. National Links Trust will continue to pursue our mission to positively impact communities through affordable and accessible golf.”
