Whitefish GC aims to provide the best possible golf experience while still meeting the high standards of social distancing requirements and public health best practices. Special procedures have been established to limit contact and minimize touch points throughout the golf course. We are following state guidelines & CDC recommendations to keep our guests and employees safe. It is a privilege for our golf courses to stay open during this time. We want to thank you for your continued cooperation so that we may keep the course open. The rules below outline many of the things that will help us achieve this end:
