From the General Manager
Hello Everyone,
Thank you for your patience over the past two weeks. We have been writing and re-writing policy as we evolve and Government regulations change. We realize that this may have caused some confusion and, in some cases, frustration. Thanks to your co-operation and understanding, we are prepared to launch Phase 2 of our COVID-19 procedures. Much of this Phase is already in place; We have opened the Range and Chipping area with reminders to physical distance. We have added “Resting Areas” with four chairs per area around the Golf Shop. These areas are monitored and sanitized regularly throughout the day. Please keep these chairs six feet apart and in groups of five or less. Resting areas were deemed reasonable by the Local Health Unit as there are no benches to rest on anywhere on the golf course. They are not intended for “dine in” food and beverage as “dine in” is still prohibited in Ontario.
Today we introduced our “Take Home” food and beverage menu. The kitchen will be accepting orders between 3:30pm and 7:30pm for pick ups between 4:00pm and 8:00pm. The BBQ and Sandwich menu in the Snack Bar will still be available daily between 11:00am and 5:00pm.
Club storage will be opening slowly. We will only be accepting bags on member owned pushcarts or electric carts to start. Unfortunately we are not yet permitted to allow staff to handle golf bags. Once we are able, and can evaluate the Heath and Safety procedures, we will expand to include the remainder of Club Storage. Please note that club cleaning is also not yet available.
Vespra Hills has acquired “cart partitions”. Once they arrive we will be allowing 2 players per cart and we will return to our maximum 2 carts per foursome policy.
Yardage and Hazard markers will be returning the course. Please do not touch them. In order to maintain a safe environment, if you are behind a yardage stake, we are asking that you take relief to accommodate your shot.
Rakes and ball washers will not be returning at this time.
All of the Safety procedures in Phase One are still in place. Please remember to social distance while at Vespra Hills. Wash or Sanitize your hands regularly and most importantly respect your fellow members and Vespra Hills staff.
