Big Oaks

THE DRIVING RANGE HAS RE-OPENED! Tokens are available in the clubhouse.

*** SPECIAL CORONAVIRUS PROCEDURES ***

Coronavirus has forced us to change some things at Big Oaks. We have to pause a lot of the social aspects of the golf course experience. We'll do the absolute best we can to stay open, but we need people to the rules we set, even if they change every day.

THE RULES ARE THE RULES. To maximize crowd control and safety, there will be no exceptions to the rules. We'll continue to make adjustments as the summer goes forward. Everything is probably going to be a little different this season, so bear with us.

WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BOOK A TEE TIME BY PHONE BEFORE COMING TO BIG OAKS. Give us your name, phone number, number in your party, how many holes, and if you want a cart. Pre-payment is not required.

WE ARE ALLOWING GROUPS UP TO FOUR. To ensure safe spacing of individuals and between groups, we will place groups larger than four on different courses. If you see a group congregating, don't act in a confrontational manner. Call the clubhouse and we'll send someone out if the problem persists.

WE ARE A LIMITED RESOURCE. There may be times when the course becomes backed up. There may be times when we’re out of carts. We’ll do everything we can to honor every reservation, but it won't always be seamless.

ONE CUSTOMER IS ALLOWED IN THE CLUBHOUSE AT A TIME. We ask that you pay for golf and beverages from the side window of the clubhouse. Please enter the clubhouse ONLY if you have to use the restroom. Touch as little as possible when you're inside. Wear a mask or face covering when you're inside.

MAX CAPACITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE AMOUNT OF FULL CUSTOMER PARKING SPOTS. Customers must park in the south end of the parking lot, in the spots along the west side of the clubhouse, or in the dozen spots between the clubhouse and the cart house. When those spots are full, the course will be considered full. The rest of the parking lot is reserved for space to wash carts.

READ THIS LIST. Do not invent spots, park on the grass, drive around cones, drive through or over bushes, move physical barriers, park dangerously close to or in wetlands, or leave your car in areas marked for golf carts. What a silly list! All of those things happen more than you might expect.

WE MIGHT ASK YOU TO COME BACK IN A BIT WHEN YOU HAVE A MIDDAY TEE TIME. A lot of times the parking lot will really fill up around lunchtime. There's a simple reason. It's really hard to guess exactly when the 7-9 o'clock tee times will finish up, allowing the midday players to tee off. Wiping down carts after each use adds another wrinkle. We might run a little behind from time to time on weekends. If we ask you to come back, a brief joyride over to Sheridan Rd and back would be a massive help.

SOCIAL DISTANCING RULES ARE STILL IN PLACE. Please stay 6 feet away from each other. Don’t touch people who aren’t members of your household. Don’t touch random things out on the course. Use common sense. The worst of the pandemic is over, but the pandemic is not over.

THE PUTTING GREEN IS OPEN. However, we don’t want more than three people using the putting green at a time. You should wear a mask if you think you'll use the putting green more than a few minutes. If people start crowding the putting green, we’ll close the putting green.

Thanks for visiting the Big Oaks website. We hope to see you soon!
