Washington, DC, October 28, 2026 —
The Interior Department has acknowledged in a court filing that it is moving toward closing the East Potomac Golf Course in Washington, D.C., on November 15. The proposed closure is described as part of the Trump administration’s plan.
The filing’s acknowledgment establishes that the department has recognized the move toward a closure, but the information provided does not say whether the course has closed or whether the plan has been finalized. November 15 is the date given for the proposed closure; no year was specified.
Details about the court case were not provided, including the name of the court, the parties involved and the issue before the court. The filing’s date and the department’s exact wording were also not included. The available information does not explain the administration’s reasons for the plan or describe any steps taken at the course.
The summary does not identify which agency or officials would oversee a closure, nor does it provide information about the course’s operations after November 15. It also does not state whether the plan is being challenged, what the filing asks the court to do, or whether any ruling has been issued.
As described, the department’s statement in court is an acknowledgment of a move toward closing the Washington course, rather than confirmation that the closure has already occurred. Further details about the plan, the court proceedings and the status of the course were not provided.
