Despite being a non-essential service, some golf courses in Kelowna are reopening to provide a little bit of reprieve while physically distancing. “In the last three weeks, I have had more people thank me for being open than I have in 30 years in business,” said Robert Anderson, Kelowna Driving Range owner. “And they (customers) are also very conscious of maintaining social distancing.” The Kelowna Driving Range has been open this whole time, celebrating their 30th anniversary while implementing social distancing practices to keep golfers safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Stalls are now six to eight feet apart, while services like the restaurant, pro shop, rentals and the mini-golf range remain closed.
