The state’s restrictions on golf have eased up a bit starting May 29. The changes are primarily that we’re back to foursomes, tee times no less than 10 minutes apart, and you don’t need to have a physical limitation to use a cart. One person per cart unless you’re in the same household. Practice areas are allowed to be open at 50% capacity. For those walking, you’ll still need to bring your own cart. We still need to social distance by staying at least 6 feet apart, no touching the flag sticks, raised cups to eliminate the need to reach into the cup to remove the ball, rakes removed from bunkers, no gathering before or after rounds, no tournaments. Some of the courses will have the clubhouses open to pay inside (where you’ll need a mask, and be limited in the number of people allowed in at the same time).
All signups will go thru Marie for events listed on the calendar (thru June 27).

Updated Illinois Golf Restrictions (pdf)

Due to the recent Illinois guidelines regarding golf, ASGA Chicago is canceling the outings scheduled for May. We will continue to monitor the situation and hopefully can resume play in June.

Understanding that tee times will be hard to come by with only 8 golfers allowed on a course per hour, many of our scheduled courses have agreed to hold 8 tee times for us instead of just releasing them for the general public. The courses and details are listed below. Please follow the instructions noted for each course to reserve one of the available slots.

The CDGA is coordinating with several other golf organizations to lobby for less restrictive rules. If the restrictions are loosened up and allow for more play, we will let you know. Stay well, and we hope to see you on the links soon!
