Exploring Palm Springs

Have a face cover with you when exploring Palm Springs. You are not required to wear them in open spaces provided you are practicing social distancing. You must use your face cover when in any business building.

Playing Golf

The golf courses are open and have implemented many new measures to keep you safe while enjoying the game.

Reservations are required for all golfers.

Prepayment is offered and required for peak times. All other times it is preferred to ensure limited contact between guests and team members.

Plan to arrive no earlier than 30 minutes in advance of your tee time. This will ensure that a limited number of people will be around the clubhouse premises at any given time. It will allow adequate time and space to check in guests, assign carts that have been sanitized and ensure that the first tee is running on time.

Maintain recommended social distance of at least 6 feet from others.

Golfers must have adequate face covering with them at all times. Face covering must be worn at all times around the clubhouse area and when approaching others. Face covering may be removed when out on the golf course, provided social distance is maintained and the face covering can be readily reapplied when required.

Carts are single use. If persons from the same household wish to ride together, they may. Carts are sanitized before and after each use (steering wheel, dash board, arm rests, roof top safety handles, golf bag straps/fasteners and seats).

Load and unload your clubs only; staff is not permitted to assist.

One group at a time is permitted to be on the tee box.
