COVID 19 UPDATE

April 27, 2021

We are continuing to monitor the Covid 19 restrictions as they are being updated daily from Nova Scotia’s Department of Public Health. Here are some guidelines that will help you participate in golf safely. We are fortunate that golf lends itself to social distancing and can provide a much needed physical and social outlet for so many. Golf Courses are doing everything they can to ensure your safety while at the course, but we must all do our part. Stay safe everyone!

Golfers need to stick to their own community. All games for the next 4 weeks (May 20, or until they lift restrictions) will only be played within HRM. We are not allowed to travel outside of our community for golf games or lessons at this time. If you live outside of HRM you are not permitted to come into our community for games or lessons. Adhere to all the restrictions and guidance from Public Health: www.novascotia.ca/coronavirus
