DONALD J. TRUMP ACQUIRES LOWES ISLAND GOLF CLUB
IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
CLUB WILL BE RENAMED TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF CLUB, WASHINGTON, D.C.
Washington, D.C. April 30, 2009 – Donald J. Trump, one of the foremost
developers of luxury golf clubs in the United States, announced the
acquisition of Lowes Island Golf Club in Washington, D.C. Mr. Trump
officially takes ownership of Lowes Island on May 1, changing the name of
the renowned property to Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C.
Just a short distance outside of the Nation’s Capital, Trump National Golf
Club, Washington, D.C. is comprised of two courses built by Tom Fazio and
Arthur Hills respectively, and is located on over 600 acres with vast
frontage on the beautiful Potomac River. Once completed, the courses
are anticipated to be among the finest in the country and beyond.
“Having waterfront property on a golf course is always ideal, but to have it
on a river as historic as the Potomac is even better,” said Donald J. Trump
Chairman and President of the Trump Organization. “When it is
completed, Trump National Golf Club, Washington D.C. will be truly
spectacular – a gem in my portfolio of award-winning golf courses around
the world.”
The two courses at Trump National Golf Club will undergo a number of
renovations over the first two years. Tom Fazio, one of the top golf course
designers in the world, has already been retained to renovate both
courses, bringing them to the highest level of golf standards. Other
improvements include lengthening the tees, enlarging bunkers, and
creating new and faster greens.
“I am ecstatic about Trump National Golf Club, Washington D.C. With Tom Fazio
doing the enhancements, everyone is in for a fantastic golf experience,” said
Eric F. Trump, Executive Vice President of Development and Acquisitions for the
Trump Organization. “It will be a tremendous improvement on an already
spectacular facility.”
