Revelado el plan de diseño de Tom Fazio para East Potomac Golf Links

El secretario del Interior, Doug Burgum, compartió el jueves una representación del nuevo diseño para East Potomac Golf Links, lo que permite vislumbrar con mayor claridad la largamente debatida renovación del campo municipal de Washington, D.C. El plan contempla un diseño de par 72 y 7,660 yardas con características de agua adicionales y un área de práctica independiente.

El campo de 18 hoyos ocuparía la mayor parte de la península artificial, dejando espacio verde en el extremo sur. También se incluye un campo corto de nueve hoyos y una instalación de práctica al norte del trazado principal. El diseño es obra del arquitecto Tom Fazio y marca un cambio respecto al trazado original de Walter Travis, creado hace más de un siglo.
