I accidentally played a course when it was closed a few years ago. I had played about six holes when the superintendent came driving over to me in a truck and asked, "Do you know this course is closed?"

I said no and apologized for being out there. But I did mention in my defense that there was no sign on the first tee indicating the the course was closed, and the tee markers and flagsticks were still in.

There was no one in the starter's booth but sometimes those guys are int he restroom so I waited for a bit and then took off.

I notice now that when the courses in my area are closed, it is posted on the first tee and flagsticks and tee markers are removed.
