A Message To Our Golfers

We are thrilled to have announced the opening of our golf course this Saturday May 16th!

Although we are all very excited to be enjoying the lovely game of golf again, it is imperative that we all keep in mind the importance of COVID-19 and continue to strictly follow government guidelines and recommendations.

Our top priority has and will continue to be the health and safety of our staff and golfers. Please carefully read below our current health and safety guidelines that we ask all members of our dragons fire community to respectfully follow.
