The City of Idaho Falls’ three public golf courses are open for use to the public beginning today with restrictions in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The following restrictions and precautions have been implemented and must be observed:

• The clubhouse, restaurant, and golf shops will be open ONLY to limited traffic.    Golfers will check in via a new service window.
• Tee times must be arranged by visiting the website at golfif.com.   Walk-on’s without tee times will only be accommodated if there is an existing tee time unscheduled.
• Golfers should call ahead of a tee time and pay their golf round over the phone to avoid contact with others.  
• Season Pass holders who are not making purchases may simply check in by phone or signal to our staff members through the check in windows.
• The Golf Shop and merchandise will be sanitized regularly.
• Keys will be left in our golf carts to eliminate contamination.
• Driving ranges are closed until further notice.
• To avoid contact with the hole and flagstick cup liners have been raised or reversed and a putt is deemed holed once it contacts the liner.
• Bunker rakes and ball washers have been removed from the course to limit touch points. 
• Carts are restricted to one person per cart unless the rider is a friend or immediate family member.   As a result, our cart rentals will be limited.   After each use, golf cart steering wheels, seats, handrails and dash boards will be disinfected.
• All Cafés are closed for sit down service but will be open to serve limited take-out food and drink orders.
• Social distancing must be practiced (6 foot distance) at ALL times in ALL areas of the Golf Course property.
