President Donald Trump announced plans to close a historic golf course in Washington D.C. for 15 months for redevelopment.
Wilkes Barre Scranton Hazleton, PA, October 18, 2026 —
President Donald Trump announced plans to close a historic golf course in Washington, D.C., for 15 months as part of a redevelopment. The announcement describes a planned closure, but does not provide a start date or identify when the course would reopen.
The golf course’s name was not provided. The announcement summary also does not specify what redevelopment work is planned, who would carry it out, or what the project would cost. It does not say whether the closure plan has received any permits or approvals.
With those details absent, the scope and timing of the project remain unclear. The 15-month period is the only timeline provided; no calendar dates or milestones were stated. The summary also does not explain whether the entire course would be closed throughout that period or whether any facilities would remain accessible.
No information was provided about how the plan could affect course operations, employees, visitors or nearby areas. The announcement summary does not include comments from Trump, representatives of the course, public officials or other stakeholders. It also does not describe any response to the proposal.
For now, the reported plan establishes an intended 15-month closure tied to redevelopment, but leaves key practical details unanswered. Further information would be needed to establish the project’s specific work, schedule, approvals and effects. The course’s identity and the dates associated with the proposed closure were not included in the information provided.
