City of St. George set to reopen its four golf courses April 17

Following a brief closure of the four City of St. George golf courses intended to help slow the spread of COVID-19, the St. George City Council in conjunction with the St. George Golf Division have announced the reopening of all city-owned courses to Washington County residents only, beginning April 17.

The City’s four golf courses include: Dixie Red Hills, Sunbrook Golf Club, Southgate Golf Club and St. George Golf Club. Tee times can be reserved online here and over the phone between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on April 15; and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 16.

“Our decision to close the golf courses was influenced by two major factors: data and the need to limit visitors, particularly during the spring break time period,” explained St. George Mayor Jon Pike.

“Today, the data is promising, and spring breaks are over, so we are happy to announce that our golf courses will be reopening — with some extra precautions in place.” For now, the new normal involves additional temporary safety measures to limit touch points and maintain a high level of sanitation.

Restrooms will be open and cleaned regularly throughout the day. The pro shop will be closed, and customers will not be allowed in the clubhouse other than to use the restrooms.

Only credit card payments will be accepted — over the phone on the day of play.

No cash will be accepted. No food or drink will be sold — the only exception at Sunbrook’s snack bar where call-ahead ordering and pickup will be available. Also, no scorecards or pencils will be provided.

Please bring your own pencil and paper for scoring. On-course water dispensers and water fountains will not be in use.

Golfers are asked to bring their own water. All bunker rakes will be removed; bunkers will be played as waste areas.
