Judge threatens Trump admin with ‘serious consequences’ over DC golf course plans during wild hearing
NY Post ^ | 5/04/26 | Ryan King

A federal judge was adamant Monday that the Trump administration must give proper notice before renovating the East Potomac Golf Links, warning of “serious consequences” if it fails to do so.

US District Judge Ana Reyes voiced concerns that the administration will follow the White House ballroom playbook and proceed with construction first and then deal with the legal fallout later.

“Let’s just say, given some issues around the District recently, I would have a particular concern that we not act first and ask forgiveness later,” Reyes said during a Monday hearing, per the Washington Post.

“Because that’s not going to be acceptable, and I want you to make sure that that’s fully communicated to the agency. If anything like that happens, there are going to be serious consequences.”

Attorneys for the administration asserted that the central DC golf course will stay open, trying to allay concerns about a report from NOTUS that renovations would begin Monday.

Following the NOTUS report, the anti-Trump Democracy Forward group lodged an emergency petition, urging the court to stop the administration from beginning work on the golf course.

At one point during the testy hearing, Reyes was given a note.

“It looks like there were signs on the golf course that there were closures,” she said.

Government attorneys claimed they weren’t aware of those closures.

Ultimately, the East Potomac Golf Links stayed open on Monday. Reyes rejected the group’s request for a temporary restraining order and allowed the government to carry on with maintenance work on the property.

“I don’t want to be the overseer of parks and rec. I’m no Amy Poehler,” Reyes quipped.

Who knew that the government owned three golf courses in DC? I would have been hard pressed to think DC was large enough to accomodate 3 golf courses.

Governments should not own sports and entertainment facilities

You have to read the courts reply to the Louisiana dissent at the bottom of page one and all of page two. They smack Brown down hard.

‘Serious consequences’ like raiding his home? Arresting him? Bankrupting him? Killing him?

Full disclosure, I am one of the worst golfers in the world. If I broke 90 on the first nine holes everyone would be amazed! Basically OSB…. Other sports Beckon. So I see that the East Potomac Golf Links has a playDCgolf Academy where they believe that everybody can learn and enjoy the game of golf. Well does that means I could take a few lessons, fail and then bring Federal Suit?

” proceed with construction first and then deal with the legal fallout later.”

Gee. Like “pass it to know what’s in it.”

Or “the Supreme Court said no but I did it anyway.”

Where a District Judge issued a TRO on behalf of an organization with no authority, for a person with no standing?
