Governor Baker issued an emergency order for nonessential business and organizations to close their physical workspaces and facilities to customers, workers and the public through April 7th.  As a result, Amherst Golf Club will be closed to all member and non-member play, subject to changes in local, state and federal guidelines related to the COVID-19 corona virus crisis and golf.

Essential Services are listed in this document from the Governor’s office. The list does not specifically address golf course operations, play at golf courses or limited operation of the Pro Shop as had been conducted by Pro Dave Twohig during the COVID-19 prevention measures implemented by the club.

Amherst Golf Club is seeking clarification on these matters from the Governor’s office as it applies to play at our course, and we will implement permissible measures that allow continued enjoyment of the outdoors and the game of golf during these trying times, while keeping everyone safe.

Your observance of the temporary closure of the Amherst Golf Club facility is greatly appreciated.
