Since then tens of thousands of new homes have been added, seriously diluting the amount of Championship golf holes available relative to homes. Result, the courses are more crowded. It will be interesting to see what the winter rates will be. I checked, and last year they were published December 7th. If the rates get jacked up again this year with the same percentage increase as last year, many will be going outside the bubble to golf this winter. Stay tuned?
Golf no more safe or worse than any other outdoor activity. As long as they stayed apart. Which includes after the golf round over. Just cause it was Money maker at beginning of COVID it got pass.
