Requires the lease to include the three golf courses in one lease agreement and mandate that the courses be operated and maintained in a manner that: (1) retains the historic nature of the courses, including an appropriate commemoration of the Langston Golf Course's historic place in African American golf history; (2) ensures that at least two of the courses maintain fees related to use that are affordable; (3) may allow fees collected at one course to subsidize the maintenance and operation of one or more of the others; and (4) allows for a long-term ground lease on the three courses.

Directs the Secretary to solicit the request for proposals in a manner that: (1) provides that the lease shall be entered into within a specified time frame; and (2) ensures the participation of disadvantaged business enterprises among the equity partners of the sponsors of the proposals.

Makes the National Park Service Concessions Management Improvement Act of 1998 inapplicable to requests for proposals submitted and leases and agreements entered into under this Act.
