PRO-SHOP INFORMATION

  • Pro-shop hours will be 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days per week, starting July 1st

  • Only one person at a time in the pro-shop (excluding staff member)
  • Hand sanitizer is provided at the entrance to the pro-shop, and we request that you use it before entering.
  • Power cart and pull cart rentals will be available.  They will be sanitized between uses.
  • Rental golf clubs will not be available at this time per Worksafe BC recommendation.
  • There will be no trash cans on the course.  Please take your trash home with you.
  • The washrooms will be open, but only during pro-shop hours and will be cleaned regularly.  The outhouse on #7 will not be open.  Please follow proper handwashing procedure.
  • Payment of annual memberships, green fees, or other costs should be made by cheque, debit, credit card, or e-transfer.  Will will accept cash but prefer no touch transaction.

RULES OF PLAY

  • Social Distancing Rules MUST be maintained.  Keep 2 club lengths distance between yourself and anyone who does not live with you.
  • Bunker rakes have been removed, and players are asked to use their feet to spread out any deep footprints they may have made.
  • Ball washers have been removed or disabled.
  • Do not remove the flag from the hole.  Holes have been modified (with noodles) so the ball is easily reached without touching flag or cup.
  • If you lose a ball, please do not look for it.  (Basic rule – Only touch what is yours.)
  • Refrain from handshakes or hugs – a tap of putters is a good alternative at the end of your game.
  • Please carry your own personal hand sanitizer and use as needed.
  • Finally . . . enjoy the game . . . despite Covid-19.  This will not be forever.

THESE CONDITIONS REMAIN SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME AS THE COVID-19 SITUATION EVOLVES.
