特朗普政府正计划将华盛顿特区东波托马克公园内的历史高尔夫球场改造成世界级赛事场地，以便举办美国公开赛、莱德杯和PGA锦标赛等重大赛事1。内务部长伯格姆在5月发布的效果图展示了18洞球场的设计方案，并承诺提供"冠军级高尔夫，价格可负担且有优惠"1。然而，这一计划触发了法律诉讼和公众担忧，法官对政府可能绕过司法程序进行不可逆改变表示关切1。
该球场开放于1919年，源自1897年国会的立法决议，当时目的是为民众提供休闲娱乐空间1。诉讼方认为改造违反了这一国会立法1。现任球手乔·福利指出目前9洞球的费用仅为36美元（含球车），凸显出改造可能改变球场的公众可及性1。华盛顿市长穆里尔·鲍泽虽然表示城市需要"吸引世界级高尔夫"，但强调"仍需公众通道"1。
改造项目原定于2025年9月1日开始施工，但截至本周仍无施工迹象1。政府已清除公园内数十棵树木，声称这是日常维护工作1。此外，政府已将来自废弃白宫东翼的建筑碎片堆放在公园内，形成三层高的土堆，检测显示其中含有铅、铬等有毒金属1。
The Trump administration is pursuing an ambitious redesign of East Potomac Golf Course in Washington, D.C., transforming the publicly accessible venue into a championship-caliber facility capable of hosting major tournaments such as the U.S. Open, the Ryder Cup, and the PGA Championship 1. The course, which opened in 1919 on land designated by Congress in 1897 specifically for public recreation, is facing its most significant transformation since its creation 1.
Interior Secretary David Bernhardt unveiled renderings in May depicting an 18-hole layout and pledged to deliver "championship-level golf at an affordable price with discounts available" 1. However, the project timeline has stalled; construction was originally scheduled to begin September 1, 2025, but as of this week no work has commenced 1. Current golfers at the facility pay only $36 for nine holes including a golf cart 1.
The proposal has sparked considerable opposition. Residents and legal challengers argue that the renovation violates the 1897 congressional mandate establishing the park for public leisure, and a judge has expressed concern that the government may circumvent judicial review to make irreversible changes 1. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser stated that the city needs to "attract world-class golf," yet emphasized that "public access must still be available" 1. Additionally, debris from the abandoned White House East Wing has been deposited in the park, creating a three-story-tall mound containing toxic metals including lead and chromium 1. The government has also removed dozens of trees from the park, characterizing the work as routine maintenance 1.
