Repurpose Golf Courses for walkers and cyclists
Golf courses are in close proximity to many houses and social distancing is made easier by the open space. Should courses reopen it is proposed that the course is open to golfers until around 2pm and to the general public from 4pm, allowing staff to recover flags etc and tape off greens around the course.
Alternatively it is proposed that at least half the course is retained for the general public to encourage safe exercising, and access to and from the course is reassessed to avoid congestion points.
Why the contribution is important
Social distancing is not possible in many areas. Canal paths are too narrow, parks are overcrowded, and it is not practical or appropriate to drive to a location to exercise.
Golf courses have sufficient space to accommodate a large number of walkers whilst maintaining social distancing rules.
