Langston Golf Course holds a singular place in American golf history as one of the courses set aside for Black golfers during Washington's era of segregated recreational facilities. The course opened in 1939 in the Langston neighborhood of northeast Washington and became a gathering place for the African American golf community during decades when other Washington courses barred Black players. After the desegregation of the District's recreational golf facilities in the 1950s, Langston continued as a municipal course serving the surrounding northeast neighborhoods. The course's historical significance as a site of African American sporting culture and community life gives it a depth of meaning that extends well beyond its function as a recreational facility.
