The order says the Interior Department and National Park Service planned closure from 15 November as part of the golf course’s redesign.

Judge Ana Reyes protects access to the golf course and park south of Buckeye Drive through 28 November or an earlier further court order.

Restrictions for seawall repairs or imminent safety threats must be limited to the necessary area and duration; routine temporary course closures remain allowed. The order does not require golf operations and does not decide the case’s final merits.
