Walking, biking prohibited on golf course

(May 11, 2020) With the reopening of the Ocean Pines Golf Club, residents are reminded that walking and biking are not allowed while the course is open for play.  

Ocean Pines PGA General Manager of Golf John Malinowski said nongolfers are not permitted on the course both for safety, and for business reasons.  

“People walking on the golf course are in harm’s way because of projectiles, so we certainly want to keep them safe,” he said. “It’s also about being able to effectively run a business, and we want to be able to give everyone the best golf experience possible. That does become a little difficult to do when there are people walking and riding around.”  

As an alternative, all Ocean Pines parks are now open for walking and exercise, per Gov. Larry Hogan’s May 6 executive order. Playgrounds in Ocean Pines are closed until further notice.
