I hope everyone is still healthy and staying safe!

As you know, the government of Ontario has extended their declaration of emergency to May 12th. Under this provision, golf courses are not able to open. As soon as this is lifted and it is deemed safe for golf courses to open, we will be finalizing all necessary protocols and guidelines to ensure the health and safety of all staff, members and guests.

We have been working with the NGCOA and others in the golf industry in assisting in a group effort to ensure that golf courses are among the first allowable activities to open for business when economic recovery strategies are put in place and stay at home guidelines start to be lifted in Ontario. If you feel strongly about having golf returned, we invite you to contact your local MPP and to sign one of the few online petitions: https://www.change.org/p/government-of-ontario-doug-ford-have-golf-courses-open-in-ontario?signed=true

Contingency planning is well underway regarding day to day operations inside and outside, all club related leagues, programs and tournaments and other functions that were and are scheduled here at the club. Our club policies are currently under review and in the event of a major delay to the start of the golf season, reasonable options will be applied under the circumstances.

We are continuing to operate the Lounge take-out! Starting May 1st, we will be open for take-out Wednesday-Friday 11am-7pm and Saturday-Sunday 4pm-7pm. It will be closed Monday and Tuesday. Our May menu can also be found by clicking here.

Finally, I want to thank our healthcare, front line and essential workers for their service during this time! With so many people in our community involved with COVID-19, we want to show our appreciation to them. Every Wednesday we will do a draw for 2 meal give-aways! To nominate someone deserving, please email us at events@mitchellgolfclub.com and tell us who they are, what they do and why you are nominating them.

Sincerely,
Steve Feeney

With the weather seeming to turn for the better, we just wanted to remind everyone that the golf course, itself, remains closed for two reasons:

1) Course conditions still make it unplayable for golf.

2) The Government’s Declaration of Emergency which closes all outdoor recreational amenities.

We are allowed to complete essential maintenance on the course to protect it, so when it is deemed safe and appropriate, there will be no delay in letting golfers out. We ask that you respect these measures and stay off the course.

Manager

Mark Friday, April 10th on your calendars as we will be serving up Fish & Chips along with a few other items on Good Friday!  Pre-order by Tuesday, April 7th at noon to guarantee your meal! Email events@mitchellgolfclub.com or call 519-348-8991 ext 202

We are excited to announce that although the Mitchell Golf and Country Club is not open for regular service, we have adapted and will help serve our loyal customers! Our staff have been working to tighten our sanitation and safety protocols to incorporate new guidelines put forward by the Ministry of Health.

Our hope as a member of the community is to offer a ‘take-out’ service that keeps ourselves and our customers’ safe while still offering a great menu as a solution to “what do we eat tonight?”

Our take-out menu allows you to call in advance, arrive at the golf course for you order and stay in your car while our servers bring your food out to you. We are set up for pre-payment on credit cards or have wireless debit machines to bring to your car. For the purpose of cleanliness, we will not be dealing with cash.

We are excited to offer this menu to you and still hopeful for a great year moving forward!

Even though there is still that white stuff on the ground, it is not too early to start thinking about golf season and planning your tournament schedule! Below are the list of dates for our 2020 tournament schedule:

Saturday, May 2nd – 2-man “How Low Can You Go?” Scramble
