UPDATE: The City of Boston announced Saturday that the city’s two municipal golf courses – the William J. Devine Golf Course and the George Wright Golf Course – will reopen on Saturday. Golfers must cover their face and practice social distancing.  See guidelines below.

Effective immediately, golf courses in Massachusetts will be allowed to reopen in limited fashion.  An official announcement from Gov. Charlie Baker is expected.  Mass Golf tweeted out the news on Thursday morning. 

No gatherings of any kind will be allowed at golf courses – so only four at a time – and you must practice social distancing.  Facilities like the clubhouse, pro shop and bathrooms will be closed. No golf carts or caddies will be allowed.

We are taking this as a positive sign!
