The Lake Monticello golf course has announced an extension of its operational plan. Effective May 2, the golf course will be open to all property owners, not just to year-long contract holders. Play by golfers from outside the Lake community is still not allowed.
Calling in to the pro shop to reserve a tee time is strongly recommended. Any group or individual walking up to play without a tee time will be assigned the next available starting time. But if the course is busy, that may require a significant wait.
Property owners without a contract may only reserve a single tee time and must identify who will be in their group. All players in the group must call into the pro shop in advance and pay over the phone by credit card, if all are paying for their own round.
Due to the rule of one golfer per powered cart, walking the course is encouraged. Couples and family members living together may go out two to a cart.
The pro shop will remain closed, but groups and individual players should check in before play at the back door of the pro shop.
The restrooms on the course are now open, but the pro shop restrooms remain closed. Water stations on the course are not operational, players are encouraged to bring water bottles. The practice range is opened with hitting stations separated further apart then in the past.
