National Links Trust is a non-profit organization dedicated to positively impacting our community and changing lives through affordable and accessible municipal golf. Our vision is to be known as the leading advocate and resource for municipal golf across the United States.
Our first project is focused on the extraordinary opportunity to rehabilitate the municipal golf facilities in our nation’s capital: East Potomac Golf Links, Langston Golf Course, and Rock Creek Park Golf. Each one of these sites has a rich and storied history, but none are currently achieving their full potential.
RESTORING DC’S PUBLIC COURSES
Rehabilitating and operating the public golf courses in our Nation’s Capital is a once-in-a-generation opportunity that aligns precisely with the mission of National Links Trust. We are committed to implement a course of action that honors the past and ensures a bright future for these national treasures.
OUR TEAM
National Links Trust has assembled a team with proven success at the highest levels of golf design and development. Our team has a deep understanding of the history and the positive impact this project will have on the neighboring communities.
Our team’s expertise spans fundraising, property development, agronomy, construction, law, facilities management, hospitality, technology, community relations, government, and general business operations.
We all have a passion for the game of golf and a desire to make a positive and long term contributions to local communities. We believe that affordable and engaging golf should be accessible to anyone who has a desire to play. Furthermore, we believe that well maintained and environmentally sound green spaces are beneficial for everyone, golfers and non-golfers alike.
THE FUTURE OF MUNICIPAL GOLF IN OUR NATION’s CAPITAL
These golf courses all have unique and compelling histories that deserve to be celebrated, and each will benefit from expert restoration that return them to what they once epitomized: shining examples of engaging golf course architecture coupled with easy and affordable access — what municipal golf can and should be.
These facilities are an essential part of local communities, and we will continuously strive to make them more inclusive and welcoming to golfers and non-golfers alike. We believe that breathing new life into these facilities will have lasting, positive impact on the lives of community members.
