New Golf Rules in Place for Coronavirus Protection
To maintain social distancing and protect the health of all our guests, we have implemented additional safety measures.
These new golf rules are in place until further notice:
Please try to arrive no earlier than 30 minutes before your tee time. If you do arrive more than 30 minutes in advance, we ask that you stay in your vehicle until your tee time is 30 minutes out.
Gathering at the course or in the parking area before or after rounds is not allowed.
The Treetops North Driving Range will be open at 50% capacity to ensure generous social distancing. Sanitized balls will be available at the range in piles and strict adherence to social distancing will be monitored.
The Himalayas Putting Green will be available but no holes will be cut and there will be fewer targets available.
Groups are limited to four players maximum.
There will be a starter on hand to direct the order of play and reinforce instructions.
Maintain social distancing; always stay at least six feet apart from other players.
Do not touch other people’s equipment and do not touch the flagsticks. There will be a stopper in each hole to make ball retrieval easier. To reduce the chance of contact even further, we recommend you follow a gimme rule for balls within two feet of a hole.
Pencils and scorecards will be available on a limited basis. However, we also recommend in App scoring on 18Birdies or The Grint.
Rakes will not be available on the course. Please smooth over your own footprints in bunkers.
The golf cart assigned to you is for you only, do not allow others to drive this cart.
There will be staff member periodically visible on the golf course to monitor play and ensure social distancing is being followed.
