特朗普政府计划关闭位于华盛顿特区、距白宫2英里的东波托马克高尔夫球场，进行为期15个月的大规模改造，以打造成世界级球场1。该改造计划将从2025年11月开始1。特朗普称这座拥有106年历史的球场为"垃圾岛"，形容其"老旧、破损、状况不佳，树木倒伏危险且有疾病，海墙崩塌"1。
DC保护联盟和民主前进组织代表原告提起诉讼反对该计划1。联邦法官已下令特朗普政府停止改造工程至少至10月26日1。原告方表示，诉讼目的是"为所服务的社区保护这个社区瑰宝"1。普通高尔夫球手对改造后的成本上涨感到担忧。该球场由国家公园管理局运营，现任球手托马斯·斯诺今年70岁，在东波托马克球场打18洞仅需29美元，改造可能导致球场失去当前的可负担性和包容性1。
The Trump administration has announced plans to close East Potomac Golf Course in Washington, D.C. for a 15-month major renovation to transform it into a world-class facility 1. Located two miles from the White House and operated by the National Park Service, the 106-year-old course has become the subject of a contentious legal dispute 1.
Trump has characterized the course as a "trash island," citing its deteriorated condition, and stated that it is "old, broken down, in bad shape, with fallen trees that are diseased and dangerous, and with a seawall that is collapsing" 1. The renovation is scheduled to begin in November 2025 1. However, a federal judge has issued an order halting the renovation work at least until October 26, following a lawsuit filed by conservation groups and golfers opposed to the project 1.
The lawsuit was brought by the D.C. Conservation League and Democracy Forward, representing public golfers who fear the renovation will result in significantly higher fees and diminish the course's current affordability and accessibility 1. Current golfers like 70-year-old Thomas Snow can currently play 18 holes for just $29 1. In a statement, representatives of the conservation organizations backing the lawsuit said: "Our litigation aims to protect this community treasure for the community we serve" 1.
