As President Donald Trump toured East Potomac Golf Links on Sunday, he carried what appeared to be detailed plans showing a far more extensive redevelopment of the municipal golf course than federal officials have publicly disclosed.

The plans, visible in photographs taken during Trump’s visit, seem to stretch the redesigned golf course across nearly the entire East Potomac peninsula, extending play to the shoreline. The renderings do not appear to show several of the park’s best-known public amenities, including the riverside bicycle trail, the miniature golf course and Washington’s oldest grove of cherry trees.

The drawings offer the clearest glimpse yet of how the Trump administration wants to transform one of the nation’s oldest municipal golf facilities into a championship-caliber venue capable of hosting the U.S. Open, Ryder Cup and other major tournaments.

The newly visible plans raise fresh questions about the scope of the project and what parts of the heavily used public park could be altered or displaced. Trump spent more than 90 minutes at East Potomac on Sunday morning, walking the property with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, golf course architect Tom Fazio and other administration officials during what is believed to have been his first visit to the waterfront course.
