All three golf courses will be open for play, effective May 1st, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and state mandated restrictions for golf course operations, business will not be as usual in order to ensure the safety of all golfers.

Below are the condensed golf guidelines that have been issued by the Governor’s office.  These updated guidelines will take effect Friday, May 29th.  For the full list Click Here.

 

General Guidelines for Golf

·      Tee times will be at intervals of 10 minutes.

·      Payment for tee times can be made in the pro shop, or if desired, can be made over the phone at the time of booking.  Payment via online tee times is currently not available.
