Sugarbush is slowly
opening up for summer activities. The golf course is open. Lodging reservations after June 15 are being accepted. However an earlier date of June 27 for other summer activities is being pushed back.
Here are the golf guidelines, which are probably becoming somewhat standard. Bold added to highlight who doesn't need to self-quarantine. County level statistics are clearly becoming more important to account for the variability across the region.
The Sugarbush Resort Golf Club is open and excited to welcome back guests. While the course and practice facility are open, our Clubhouse, Locker Room, Hogan’s Pub, Pro Shop, and Driving Range will remain closed until further notice.
Golf Safety Practices:
Tee times must be made, and paid for with a credit card, in advance, by phone or online. NO walk-up tee times! Please call 802-583-6725 or book online.
Please do not arrive at the course more than 10 minutes prior to your tee time.
Tee times will be spaced in 15 minute increments, golfers are expected to maintain a personal space barrier of 6 feet both within their group and other groups.
Scorecards and golf tees will NOT be available. You must bring your own tees or purchase bagged tees from the golf shop. Free smartphone apps like USwing and mScorecard are great for scorekeeping. Scores can be posted online at www.ghin.com or by using the GHIN App on smartphones.
Face coverings will be required when interacting with employees, other guests, or in the area of clubhouse and parking lot.
Any golfer living in a non-quarantine county across New England and New York is now permitted to play golf in the state of Vermont and participate in VGA events. That means counties that have less than 400 active cases of COVID-19 per one million residents may enter the state for leisure travel without quarantining.
Walking is encouraged, but golf carts are available. Two bags may go in a cart per usual but only one golfer may ride a cart at a time unless they are members of the same household. Golf carts will be sanitized between uses.
There will be no touch points on the golf course (ball washers, rakes, water coolers, etc.) Please note that our Tee Sentry notification system will not be in use for this reason, so use caution when hitting blind tee shots.
Check-in will occur through the shop window off of the front porch, please follow signage to check-in area.
Bottled Water, Soda, Beer, and Snacks will be available to purchase at Check-In.
Limited items will be available for purchase from the Pro Shop, such as golf balls, gloves, and bagged golf tees. Please order in advance when making tee time.
Golf carts will be self-serve and will be staged on the 1st hole side of Golf Course Road.
Post round cart drop off will be in designated area in the Parking Lot. Please remove all trash from carts and place in provided receptacle. This is necessary to reduce touch points for our staff.
Restroom facilities will be limited to portable toilets located outside of the Clubhouse, so please plan accordingly. There will be no portable toilets on the golf course.
Foam inserts will be placed in the cup to avoid any unnecessary touchpoints.
