In 1927, East Potomac Park was home to the only twenty-seven hole golf facility in the world with three (!) reversible nines. Golf’s first reversible course, the Old Course at St Andrews, switched directions of play on a regular basis from the 1870s into the 1920s. Today, the clockwise routing is played only a few days every year (often on and around April Fool’s Day). The courses of St. Andrews are managed by the local authorities - yes, it’s a muni – who know that visiting golfers from around the world want to play the counter-clockwise Open Championship course. Back here in DC, golfers at East Potomac Golf Links will someday again experience Walter Travis’ original 18-hole reversible layout thanks to the creativity of highly respected golf architect Tom Doak.
