In an effort to comply with this executive order and social distancing guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the course will be open for walking players only. Carts will not be available for use.

- Increased cleanings for all shared spaces and equipment
- Limited takeout food and beverage and retail sales in compliance with the current executive order
