National Links Trust Background

National Links Trust then partnered with Troon Golf to manage the day-to-day golf operations of the three courses.

The Nation’s Capital Project is a long-term, full scale, capital investment project being undertaken over the coming years. NLT has collaborated with world-renowned architects Gil Hanse, Beau Welling, and Tom Doak on the renovated design of the three courses. Beyond renovation to course architecture and agronomy, the project encompasses major infrastructure upgrades at all three facilities including construction of clubhouses, maintenance facilities, and driving ranges. The overarching theme of the project is an emphasis on community and a core belief that public golf facilities should have immense positive effects on their local communities.
East Potomac Golf Links – East Potomac was designed as a “model municipal playground” by golden age architect, Walter Travis in the early 1900’s. Tom Doak will lead the restoration project. The finished facility will include a reversible 18-hole course, executive-length 9-hole course, par-3 course, driving range, restored miniature golf course and golf academy.
