The City of Susanville announced on Friday that the Diamond Mountain Golf Course will open for the season, although golfers will have to follow strict social-distancing rules to play on the course.
The driving range will be open to public with social distancing applied. All range balls shall be disinfected prior to returning to the range ball hopper.
Rental Golf carts will be disinfected prior to assigning out to another golfer.
The flagsticks will not be removed.
Devices will be installed to prevent the ball from falling all the way in the hole or from entering the hole all together (raised cups).
Bunker rakes, sand buckets/bottles, and ball washers will be removed or rendered inoperable unless hand sanitizer is made available at each hole.
All dining or picnic tables, benches and chairs will be removed to avoid congregating.
Limit the number of customers allowed in the facilities, including restrooms, pro shops and restaurants; purchases may be ordered for pickup.
Sanitize facilities after each interaction.
A golf marshal will ensure proper social distancing and no congregating or groups larger than 4.
Tee times will be expanded to allow additional time in between tee times. This will result in increased spacing between golfing groups and players.

• No high fives, handshakes, or hugs.
