About National Links Trust

National Links Trust (NLT) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to positively impacting local communities through protecting and promoting accessible, affordable, and engaging municipal golf courses across the United States of America. In June 2020, National Links Trust was awarded a 50-year lease from the National Park Service to manage East Potomac Golf Links, Langston Golf Course and Rock Creek Golf Course. National Links Trust then partnered with Troon Golf to manage the day-to-day golf operations of the three courses. While NLT also executes national initiatives aimed at the betterment of the municipal golf industry as a whole, the organization’s primary focus is the operation of Washington, DC’s three publicly accessible golf courses – Rock Creek Park Golf, Langston Golf Course, and East Potomac Golf Links – and their renovations, dubbed the “Nation’s Capital Project,” alongside the National Park Service.

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.
