Metroparks Golf Courses to Open with Strict Social Distancing Precautions in Place

Here at your Huron-Clinton Metroparks, we’re proud that so many people across Southeast Michigan have chosen to visit their favorite Metroparks these past weeks. Keeping everyone healthy – physically and mentally – is a critical part of the state’s recovery plan and our commitment to the region.

Your Metroparks regulation golf courses are opening Friday, March 26, 2021.  Lake St. Clair Metropark Par 3 golf course will open April 2  and be available for play Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Of course, it’s important that you remember to give other visitors the recommended six feet of safe space. Additionally, we are instituting some new policies at our golf courses to better protect visitors and staff from the potential spread of the Covid-19 virus.

• Tee time bookings and payment can be made online at this time. Please CLICK HERE
• To help keep you healthy, our staff will be disinfecting carts between each round and at the end of the day, but we still advise you to follow CDC guidelines for frequent hand washing.
• Pull hand carts will be available for free where available and while supplies last.
• If there is a frost delay or you come early, we ask that you wait in your vehicle.
• We are limiting the capacity within the clubhouse buildings.
• We will not have ball washers, water coolers, bunker rakes, and any other equipment items that require touching.
• Food and beverage service is available by carry-out only.
• Please do not congregate in groups after your round.
• We have suspended our $8 discount/refund for returning your daily pass at Kensington, Indian Springs and Stony Creek Courses. We apologize for the inconvenience, but you can keep the daily passes you purchase at the gate and trade up to an annual pass using our trade up program, and the full details of that can be found on our website at https://www.metroparks.com/shop/.

We’re committed to doing all we can to protect Michiganders against the coronavirus and keep the properties open and available for all to use.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and have a GREAT TIME!
