It’s an unprecedented time and for many, the golf course is one of the few places people feel they can go to enjoy some fresh air while still practicing proper social distancing techniques.
Deciding when to play or stay home is an individual’s choice, of course, and likely varies by geography if there’s a course that’s open.
Two medical experts spoke to Golfweek about the matter.
Golf courses in some states are closed for now, while others stay open for business.
So for those who can’t or don’t want to venture out, why not peek in on some live webcams at some famous courses from around the country.
We tracked down a few of those webcam links here.
Pebble Beach
The site of the 2019 U.S. Open is closed. This message is on the golf links’ website:
“In light of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, Pebble Beach Resorts has temporarily suspended our Resort operations, which includes all hotels, golf courses (including Del Monte Golf Course), our restaurants, retail shops, and health and tennis clubs. For more than one hundred years, we have welcomed guests from near and far to enjoy legendary golf and world-class accommodations along a backdrop of stunning natural beauty. Once the world is ready to travel again, we look forward to welcoming you to Pebble Beach. We are continuing to take reservations for arrivals after April 17th.”
