Proof of vaccination is required as follows;

Masks will still be required indoors, even if you have shown proof of vaccination.

Proof will be required per indoor visit for all guests & non members.  Presenting proof on one visit will not exclude you from needing to provide it on subsequent visits as well.  We (Seaforth Golf Course 1996 Ltd.) will not be subject to fines under the Provincial Offenses Act.  For our members we will compile a record of those who meet the vaccine requirements as proof is provided, however members should have their vaccine proof with them in order to present it should it be requested.

  • If you plan on taking a cart it must be booked in advance. Masks must be worn by all individuals while riding on a power cart with another person who is not a member of the same household.  Please not that the cart-rates listed on our website or are part of your fee are based on double rider occupancy.  If you require the use of your own cart then additional fees may apply, as outlined in our Covid Cart Policy which can be found here.
  • Carts will be sanitized after each use and then put back into rotation. We highly encourage you to walk if you are able to do so, so that we may offer carts to those who cannot walk. (especially in high volume times)
  • We encourage you to practice health safety and bring your own hand sanitizer and/or wipes. We will have some available in important areas as well.

LEAVING FOR THE COURSE

  • We ask that you please arrive at the course 20-25 minutes before your tee time. This will allow enough time for you to register/pay and will limit crowding.
  • You may warm up on the putting green before your tee time. Capacity is limited to the number of people who are able to safely practice while maintaining a minimum of 2 meters distance form each other. Please yield the practice green to groups teeing off before you.

ARRIVING AT THE COURSE

  • You will not be allowed to golf without a tee time. If you forget to book one please call the pro shop from your car to confirm there is a time available for you. From there we will instruct you as to when you may enter the clubhouse.
  • Take out food as well as beverages will be available for sale. It is against the law to bring your own alcoholic beverages onto a licensed facility so please purchase your drinks at the club. More details about food service below.

THE ROUND

  • Please remember to stay 6ft away from your playing partners at all times.
  • Do not touch equipment (balls, clubs, head covers, etc.) that do not belong to you.
  • You will notice we have placed Styrofoam in the cups so that the ball does not fall all the way into the hole (Please do not touch the flagstick when picking up your golf ball). If you do touch or remove the flagstick please make sure to sanitize your hands.
  • We suggest that once all golf balls are on the green, that the person farthest putts until completed, picks up their ball and returns their bag/cart. This will prevent close gatherings around the cup.

AT THE TURN/COMPLETION OF THE ROUND

  • The Patio and dining area are closed at this time. However the Kitchen & Bar are open for takeout food & beverage for on the course or after your round.

We know that these guidelines & rules will be an adjustment and challenge for all of us but we trust that our members and guests can and will respect these changes.

These rules are not arbitrary and are not in place for no reason. We believe we can both enjoy golf while at the same time doing what we can to protect ourselves, our families, and those we care about the most.

We are all in this together!
