Rebuild D.C.'s East Potomac public golf course as a championship course?

The administration plans to redesign East Potomac public golf course in Washington, D.C. as a championship course and to close the course, along with East Potomac Park south of Buckeye Drive, on Nov. 15. On Nov. 9 a federal judge kept her ban on further tree removal while the government appeals; the ban covers tree removal, not the closure. The DC Preservation League and two other plaintiffs have asked the court to block the closure, with a hearing set for Nov. 13; the government says the closure is needed because of a deteriorated sea wall and because the course operator will stop running the course. Supporters and opponents disagree on whether to rebuild or preserve it.
