City of Kerrville issued the following announcement on April 23.
The City of Kerrville’s Parks and Recreation Department is pleased to announce that Scott Schreiner Golf Course has reopened under the guidance provided by Governor Abbott on essential exercise activities, and with strict measures in place to protect the health and safety of patrons, employees and the community.
Those measures, which follow the same protocols implemented by the State of Texas in the recent re-opening of their state-run courses Monday, include:
• No carts allowed; walkers only.
• Pro shop remains closed to the public. All tee times must be made in advance of arrival by calling 257-4982.
• Credit cards will be charged once a player has begun their round.
• Maximum of four players per group, with social distancing required among players.
• Tee times are spaced out at 15-minute intervals to prevent congregating around the tee box. Strict adherence to tee times will be observed. Once a player or group has arrived onsite, they must proceed directly to the No. 1 tee.
For more information, and to make advance reservations, call the course at 257-4982. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified mental and physical health as a top concern associated with the COVID-19 outbreak.
The City of Kerrville recognizes that physical distancing may take a toll on mental health, especially during public health emergencies. Parks provide a connection to the outdoors and green space as well as opportunities for physical activity which demonstrates reduced stress and improves mental health.
The City of Kerrville, in close coordination with guidelines provided by the State of Texas, believes that parks, trails and open spaces can continue to be used in a safe manner that allows people to enjoy the mental and physical health benefits of parks.
We strongly encourage all park goers to follow the CDC’s guidance on personal hygiene prior to heading to parks and trails — wash hands, carry hand sanitizer, do not use facilities if you have symptoms, cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, etc.
Observe at all times the CDC’s minimum recommended social distancing of six feet from other people. Refrain from using parks or trails if you are exhibiting symptoms of illness. Warn other trail users of your presence and as you pass to allow proper distance, and step off trails to allow others to pass, keeping minimum recommended distances at all times.
