Golf courses in Massachusetts are permitted to open, effective immediately, according to an announcement from Mass Golf.
“During extraordinary times, such as the current global pandemic, we all will be guided in decision making with the information provided by public health and government authorities,” read the statement.
According to the announcement, golf courses are not essential businesses and cannot have employees working on-site, but groundskeeping and security is permitted.
“Private operators of courses may permit individuals access to the property so long as there are no gatherings of any kind, appropriate social distancing of six feet between individuals is strictly followed, and the business operator and golfers abide by the specific guidelines for golf courses. Municipalities may decide to open municipal courses under these guidelines if they so choose.”
Staff must wear face coverings, and no caddies, carts, or rental clubs will be permitted, according to safety guidelines published by Mass Golf.
