National Links Trust

Washington, DC, US • 5 - 9 Employees
Non-Profit

The National Links Trust is dedicated to protecting and promoting accessible, affordable and engaging municipal golf courses to positively impact local communities across the United States of America.Our first project will focus on the incredible opportunity to improve the facilities of our nation's capital's three municipal golf courses, East Potomac, Langston and Rock Creek. Each one of these sites has a rich and storied history, but none of them are currently living up to their potential. The National Park Service has awarded National Links Trust a fifty year lease to operate all three golf courses starting October 5, 2020. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity and the NLT's goal is to ensure that the proper course of action is taken to improve and ultimately protect these national treasures.For the three golf courses, NLT will: -Provide affordable opportunities to golf at East Potomac, Langston and Rock Creek golf courses.-Expand opportunities for underserved communities, including seniors, veterans, individuals with disabilities and those new to golf. -Promote youth education and support youth golf programs in collaboration with local and national youth golf organizations.-Share the history of the three golf courses.-Restore historically and architecturally significant elements of the properties.-Enhance and provide additional access to the natural environment to benefit both golfers and the general community. -Provide new full-time, seasonal and youth-specific employment opportunities.-Address deferred maintenance needs across all three courses..
