## Key points

- A judge pauses the planned golf course closure until at least 28 November.
- The course was due to close for 15 months of redevelopment.
- The lawsuit argues the project could make the public course unaffordable.

## Summary

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the government from closing East Potomac Park and its public golf course as part of President Donald Trump’s redevelopment plan. The ruling delays the project while a legal challenge continues, preserving public access to the historic site for now.

Judge Ana Reyes’s order runs through 28 November 2026, unless the court acts sooner, and does not prevent necessary repairs or continued planning. The course had been due to close on 15 November for 15 months; the plaintiffs argue redevelopment could change its character and make it unaffordable, while the Justice Department says planning can continue.
