Ocean Pines Golf Club to Remain Open
Update: In order to comply with Maryland Governor Larry Hogan's order that all of the state's non-essential businesses close, Ocean Pines Golf Club has ceased operations effective at 5 p.m. on Monday, March 23, 2020.
Ocean Pines Golf Club, like everyone else, has been carefully monitoring the current COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak and considering how best to keep our staff and guests safe, while meeting the needs - when possible - of the golfing public.
Given the outdoor nature of the golf business, Ocean Pines Golf Club plans, for the foreseeable future, to remain open during its regular hours of operation. We have, however, instituted some modifications to our normal procedures to protect the health of those who work at and visit the course. Those modifications include:
Given the outdoor nature of the golf business, Ocean Pines Golf Club plans, for the foreseeable future, to remain open during its regular hours of operation. We have, however, instituted some modifications to our normal procedures to protect the health of those who work at and visit the course. Those modifications include:
- Asking our guests to check in and/or pay one at a time to limit the number of people in the Golf Shop
- Regularly wiping down hard surfaces in the Golf Shop as well as hand railings and golf cart steering wheels
- Cleaning and sanitizing on-course bathrooms daily
- Removing the flagsticks from all greens
- Providing disposable gloves to our Golf Shop staff
- Reminding our guests to be mindful of social distancing when playing a round with others
As the scope of this outbreak is unprecedented during our time, it is impossible to predict if further modifications will need to be made, or if we will need to close the course in the near future. We will continue to keep the golfing public aware of any changes via email communications, on Ocean Pines Golf Club's Facebook and Twitter pages, and at OceanPinesGolf.org.
We look forward to sharing our Robert Trent Jones, Sr.-designed course with you now, this summer and all year round. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and patronage.
Sincerely,
John C. Malinowski III, PGA
