Designplan av Tom Fazio presenterad för East Potomac Golf Links

Inrikesminister Doug Burgum delade på torsdagen en rendering av en ny design för East Potomac Golf Links, vilket ger en tydligare bild av den länge omdebatterade renoveringen av den kommunala golfbanan i Washington, D.C. Planen omfattar en par 72-bana på 7 660 yards med tillagda vattenhinder och ett separat övningsområde.

18-hålsbanan skulle uppta större delen av den konstgjorda halvön, samtidigt som grönområden bevaras vid den södra spetsen. En niohåls kortbana och en träningsanläggning ingår också norr om huvudbanan. Designen kommer från arkitekten Tom Fazio och markerar ett avsteg från den ursprungliga Walter Travis-dragningen som skapades för mer än hundra år sedan.
