National Links Trust Background
National Links Trust (NLT) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to positively impacting local communities through protecting and promoting accessible, affordable, and engaging municipal golf courses across the United States of America. In June 2020, National Links Trust was awarded a 50-year lease from the National Park Service to manage East Potomac Golf Links, Langston Golf Course and Rock Creek Golf Course. National Links Trust then partnered with Troon Golf to manage the day-to-day golf operations of the three courses.

The Nation’s Capital Project is a long-term, full scale, capital investment project being undertaken over the coming years.

Beyond renovation to course architecture and agronomy, the project encompasses major infrastructure upgrades at all three facilities including construction of clubhouses, maintenance facilities, and driving ranges.
