Mr. Wagner;
We close our clubhouse in January and February and open up on March 1.The golf course usually opens up mid - April. In our area this has been a mild winter with very little snow. Our Board of Governors believes that in abundance of caution and in deference to the staff and members, who fall within the high risk category, they have made the decision to close the clubhouse and cancel all member events until April 3rd. The clubhouse will be locked and access to the building will be restricted. We had four non member functions in March and all four had no problem re-scheduling at a later date.
The golf course is currently open with temporary greens. The greens will officially open on Friday, March 20th, and will be open for play despite the clubhouse being closed. Carts will not be available until the clubhouse and pro shop are open. The course reservation system is not expected to be operational until the pro shop opens.
We respectfully request that that you follow suggested guidelines for social distancing while on the course, and if you are exhibiting cold or flu symptoms that you not come to the course to play, even as a single player.
As the situation evolves, we will update our response plan, and keep the members informed of any changes.
