DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - April 6, 2020 -On Friday, March 27, Mizner Country Club reopened its golf course. Unfortunately, not to golfers! The Country Club is permitting its members to walk/jog on the golf course cart paths from 8:00 a.m. until sundown.
"When Palm Beach County Mayor, Dave Kerner issued the Executive Order to close public and private golf courses, our management team met to discuss how we could meet member requests for walking/jogging paths on the Club property," said Larry Savvides, Mizner Country Club's General Manager and Chief Operating Officer.
Unprecedented times have called for unprecedented actions. Never in Mizner's history have walkers been permitted on the Club's golf cart paths. Announcing these actions to Mizner Club members, Savvides set a few policies for residents to adhere to for their safety as well as the safety of the Club's golf course maintenance team members. They include:
Golf play is strictly prohibited in any form.
Residents must remain on the cart paths unless passing others to maintain social distancing of 6 feet.
Walking on the turf or any portion of the golf course (the rough, fairways, tees, greens, bunkers), unless for social distancing, is strictly prohibited.
Children under sixteen (16) years of age must be accompanied by an adult, age eighteen (18) years of age and older.
Mizner Rangers and security patrol the golf course to ensure that social distancing is adhered to amongst passing walkers/joggers.
"We encourage our membership to enjoy a walk/jog amidst the beautiful scenery of our stunning golf course. It is a remarkable masterpiece and will now serve our membership during the closing as an opportunity to enjoy its serenity. These are stressful times, and we are all working together to protect our health, the health of our families and the health of our staff," he said.
Mizner Country Club is one of Delray's premier country club communities consisting of over 470 classic Mediterranean architecture luxury homes. It is nestled in a lushly landscaped environment of royal palm and oak tree-lined streets, all surrounded by a new championship 18-hole golf course. Mizner Country Club recently achieved Platinum status by the Platinum Club of America and is recognized as a Distinguished Club of the World.
