Good Evening,
Thank you to everyone who participated in our zoom calls this afternoon. We had close to 200 people join in and were able to tackle many of your questions about golf regulations.
As you know, golf is permitted to open tomorrow (Saturday, May 2) with the exception of the clubhouse and pro shop which must remain closed until the province moves into stage 1 of Alberta's Relaunch Strategy.
Golf course operators must adhere to mandated social distancing and personal hygiene rules as well as the Provincial Government's Guidance for Golf Operators protocols and the Workplace Guidance for Business Owners. Please click below to download these documents.
With respect to tee-times, it is suggested that you follow
protocol 2020-04-19 in the Golf Operations section
of the NAGA-AB Protocol document. Please click below to download the protocols.
Although golf has been deemed allowed to open, you are not required to do so. However, if you are opening, please make sure you have appropriate signage and are able to follow all of the provincial guidelines as well as those outlined in the NAGA-AB protocols to ensure a safe environment for your staff, golfers, and the general public from the spread of COVID-19.
Golf being allowed to open is great news for Albertans who have been looking for a safe way to physical distance while getting outside. It will be a big boost to our collective mental health as well and will help kickstart the economic recovery in Alberta.
We will continue to send you updates if more information becomes available.
Thanks and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
