더그 버검 내장부 장관은 목요일 이스트 포토맥 골프 링크스의 새로운 디자인 렌더링을 공개하며, 오랫동안 논의되어 온 워싱턴 D.C. 시립 골프장 보수 공사의 윤곽을 더욱 명확히 드러냈다. 이 계획안은 파 72, 전장 7,660야드 규모에 수경 시설을 추가하고 별도의 연습장을 마련하는 내용을 담고 있다.
18홀 규모의 이 골프장은 인공 반도의 대부분을 차지하게 되며, 남쪽 끝부분에는 녹지가 보존될 예정이다. 메인 코스 북쪽으로는 9홀 쇼트 코스와 연습 시설도 포함된다. 이번 설계는 건축가 톰 파지오가 맡았으며, 100여 년 전 월터 트래비스가 설계한 기존 코스 레이아웃에서 변화를 꾀하는 것이다.
