Updated: Apr 28, 2020; Posted: Mar 24, 2020 (The below information may be outdated and/or may not reflect the current procedures at the golf course as it was last updated in April of 2020)
As you may have seen on Facebook or Twitter, the Ohio Department of Health reversed an earlier decision (made Friday, March 27) and is now allowing golf courses to stay open during statewide order regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
The golf course is open for play with tee times being required. In cooperation with the Lorain County Board of Health, alcoholic beverages will not be available for purchase (or permitted on premise) during the duration of the current statewide order.
With that in mind, we understand the responsibility and importance in providing you, other golfers and our staff with a safe and healthy venue for outdoor recreation. It is important all of our staff members and golfers work in cooperation to maintain everyone’s health and safety.
If you do not adhere to these precautions and/or the state’s order, you will not be permitted to golf during this time. Additionally, you should not come to the golf course if you have a temperature above 98.9° Fahrenheit, have recently travelled anywhere outside of the state, if you are currently high risk and/or feeling ill.
Golf provides all of us with a unique way to relax, exercise and enjoy the outdoors while adhering to current regulations. Our goal has always been to make golf as accessible as ever, and that is as important to us now as it ever has been.
Please take care to be fully aware of the following items prior to reserving your next round of golf here at Mallard Creek. We appreciate your business and hope you and your family stay healthy during this time. Please let us know if you have any questions and we will be happy to assist you.
