Reopening guidance for outdoor sports facilities

Operate only outside. Limit the number of participants, so that everyone can stay 6 feet apart at all times. Close water fountains, clubhouses, restaurants, lounge areas, locker rooms, fitness facilities, and retail areas. 

You can rent equipment with curbside pickup and dropoff.

Customers can only go inside to use restrooms, if there are no restrooms outside.

You can set up a reservation system. You can also reserve a space or time for older adults, or others who may be more at risk. 

Screen customers for COVID-19 symptoms when they come in. Everyone must wear face coverings, except when drinking water.

Competitions are only allowed without spectators. Start times must also be staggered.

Golf facilities

Players can golf in groups of up to 4 people. Stagger tee times by 10 minutes.

Only players should be on the course. No caddies or spectators are allowed, unless the player is under 18.

Fill cups or turn them upside down so players can’t reach into them. Players should not share golf carts, nor carry bags for others. Carts should be sanitized after each use.
