Although it was a tough start to the 2020 golf season with the mandated shutdown early on, I am happy to report that the new clubhouse has been completed and is open. The Clubhouse Bar and Grille is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and offers seating both indoors and outside on the expansive patio with a great view of the 9th and 18th holes. The manager, Katie, and her staff provide excellent service and create a welcoming atmosphere for all. If you have not had the chance to stop by for a sandwich or a drink, I recommend that you do so.

The golf shop is also open and has merchandise available to purchase regardless of whether you are a golfer. If you are looking for new clubs, you can schedule a club fitting to make sure you are purchasing equipment that is right for you and that will help you get the most out of your game. If we don’t have what you are looking for in stock, we can probably place a special order. Lessons and clinics are also available throughout the year, and information can be found on our website at oceanpinesgolf.org.

The golf staff has been working hard to ensure that our golfers have an enjoyable and safe visit to the course. We have spent extra time sanitizing carts, bathrooms, range baskets and balls to ensure we are doing our part to help curb the spread of Covid-19 and to protect our employees.

While on the topic of safety, I’d like to address the issue of walking or riding bikes on the golf course. While we were shut down for six weeks in late March through early May, we were happy to allow residents to walk or ride their bikes on the course to enable them to get outside and exercise. Now that the course is back open for play, it is important to reiterate that it is a golf course and not a walking path or bike trail. It is extremely dangerous to be walking or riding bikes on the course with golfers playing and hitting golf balls. I want to be clear that the golf course is for the use of registered and paid golfers only. Your help and adherence to this is much appreciated.

Summer is a great time to play, and rates for Ocean Pines residents (with an Ocean Pines ID card) and their accompanying guests are $49 before noon, $44 from noon to 3 p.m. and $34 after 3 p.m. through Oct. 31. Call 410-641-6057 or visit oceanpinesgolf.org for tee times.
