SRCC COVID-19 Update
CLUB CLOSURE
 
The number of cases in Pennsylvania and in particular Montgomery County continue to grow every day.  The SRCC BOG and Management Staff have been monitoring all of the communications which have provided direction to businesses regarding how to address the need to mitigate the spread of the disease.  The goal is the mitigation of the COVID-19 from person to person and the spread from area to area. 
 
Last evening, we received a Letter from the PA Department of Health and Department of Community & Economic Development addressed to business owners.  This letter was directed toward informing businesses and strongly recommended that non-essential businesses shut down.  In the letter it specifically states that this is a STRONG RECOMMENDATION and a step before the Governor mandates closing of non-essential businesses.  Very importantly, it specifically mentions that they “strongly recommend that certain non-essential businesses should temporarily close” and they name specifically “Sporting events facilities and golf courses.” 
 
The SRCC BOG and the Management Team has also surveyed other local Country Clubs and have learned that the Clubs in our immediate area are extensively shutting down their Club operations and will not reopen until they have reevaluated the situation. 
 
The SRCC BOG has decided to SHUT DOWN all Club operations (Golf Course, Restaurant, Bar and Offices) until at least Wednesday, March 31^st.  This will take effect at the close of business on Sunday, March 15^th.  Although we do not know specifically that we will reopen after March 31^st we will reevaluate the situation at that time and update the membership of the status of the Club closure.  All facilities will be closed during this time and you will not have access to the Offices, Pro Shop, Bag Storage, Golf Carts, Locker Rooms, Food and Beverage Services. 
We are in a time of unprecedented proportion.  Our Nation, State, County and our Club have not experienced anything like this that we are aware of.  However, we must protect our Members, Staff, Families and Guests from this highly contagious disease as the consequences can be serious and even cause mortality amongst those at high risk.  Please understand that this decision was done out of total concern for everyone associated with Sandy Run Country Club.  The Board of Governors will continue to monitor this fluid situation and communicate accordingly.
