Trump Announces Plan for Golf Course at East Potomac Park

Sioux Falls, SD, October 18, 2026 —

President Trump announced a plan to develop a new golf course at East Potomac Park in Washington, D.C. The announcement identifies the proposed project and its location, but the information provided does not include further details about what the plan would involve.

No timeline for design or construction was provided. The available summary also does not state the proposed course’s size, design, expected cost, funding source or whether any construction work has been scheduled.

Details about the project’s status are likewise not included. The information does not specify whether plans have been submitted for review, whether approvals or permits are required or have been obtained, or which agencies or other parties would oversee development. It also does not describe any anticipated effects on the park or its existing features.

As a result, the announcement establishes that a golf course is part of Trump’s stated plan for East Potomac Park, but leaves the project’s scope and next steps unclear. The contractor, if one has been selected, was not identified in the information provided. No additional statements or responses about the proposal were included.

Further information would be needed to determine how the plan would proceed, what it would cost and what changes, if any, would be made at the site. At this stage, the details available are limited to Trump’s announcement of a plan to develop a new golf course at the Washington park.
