More about the plan:
The Rock Creek Park golf course rehabilitation is the first leg of National Links Trust’s “Nation’s Capital Project” alongside the National Park Service (NPS). This project will occur in two phases. The first phase will include the construction of a new clubhouse, driving range, maintenance facility, pavilion, Himalayas-style putting course, and short game facility. The second phase will involve the renovation of the golf course - creating a nine-hole regulation length golf course and a nine-hole par three course - and construction of ecological trails through the property.
The clubhouse and driving range built in the first phase will offer a food and beverage operation, a community room, indoor golf training areas, a pro shop, and support areas. In addition, the clubhouse will house classrooms, program spaces, and the administrative headquarters of First Tee -- Greater Washington, DC. The golf course will remain open while the clubhouse is being constructed.
The golf course work in the second phase of the project will be overseen by golf course architects Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, renowned for both their new construction and their extensive renovation work including at three William Flynn-designed courses in the United States. The proposed nine-hole regulation, par 35 course measures approximately 3,300 yards and uses corridors from both Flynn's original more open front nine and more wooded back nine. The nine-hole par-3 course starts and finishes just west of the current 9th green. This mix of playing options takes advantage of the site's natural setting, minimizes tree clearing, allows for healthy turf conditions, and improves playability.
Throughout the week of January 9, NLT will be releasing more details of the plan on social media as well as the webpage provided above.
