One Golfer, One Cart
 

Yesterday, on Golf The Villages, a new restriction was initiated. Only one golfer per cart except for couples living in the same household. All TV courses.

This is an update on Golf the Villages website:

[*]Championship Golf on straight tee times (beginning at 7:28am through 4:00pm), effective Monday, April 6.

[*]Country Club Golf Shops closed, effective Monday, April 6. Check-in for golf at designated Starter Building (open until 4pm). Contact Golf Shop phone number for information.

[*]All transactions for Championship golf fees are credit card or golf shop credit only (cashless system), effective Monday, April 6.

[*]Rental clubs suspended and warm-up baskets, snacks and beverages not available.

[*]Golfers will be required to ride in individual golf cars, unless from shared household.

Will they still be renting carts for those that come up below 44 and those that go down below 44? One of our guys has put the question into the tee time office, hasn't heard back but if anyone knows please post.

Plus, effective April 8th, no more guests on exec GCs, residents only.

Executive Golf Modifications

Effective April 8th, there will be no exchange of cash for payment of a daily trail fee or guest rate to play golf. Trail Fees must be paid in advance or via phone with a credit card. To accommodate residents and make this transition as seamless as possible, the following updates will take effect on April 8th:

A new temporary monthly flat fee of $ 20.00 per month for Trail Fees will be created to accommodate what are now daily cash trail fee golfers. This is in addition to the 6-month and yearly trail fees.

Customer Service and Recreation Administration will be taking calls and payment from residents Monday – Friday from 6:45am to 5pm and Saturday & Sunday from 6:45am – 4:00pm.

The Starter Shacks will provide a phone number to those residents wishing to purchase the monthly trail fee. In addition, Customer Service will continue to be available via email at CustomerService@districtgov.org and will contact residents via telephone to pay annual trail fees.

Tee time hours are being modified to reflect the current available staffing levels of Executive Golf Operations. Hours will be from 7am through 4pm.
A golfer will still have the ability to play by walking with a pull cart or carrying their own bag.

Only single riders in golf cars will be permitted unless the individuals are cohabitating in the same home.

In addition to the changes in trail fee transactions, guests will temporarily not be permitted to golf. Eliminating all money transactions at the Starter Shacks provide for enhanced protection as we all make extra allowances to fight the spread of COVID-19. Please note that this will not impact the ability for residents (owners, non-owners or renters) to play. This only impacts those guests with a Guest ID that normally pay a guest rate to play golf.

I mentioned that here about two weeks ago to stop issuing out guest passes...
As for single riders on golf cart, that should be implemented at all times even without virus concerns if preferred by the cart owner.
