Southfield (CW50) - Under the initial Stay-At-Home order, Michigan golf courses were closed. In the latest executive order, golf courses were permitted to reopen under the condition of social distancing rules and the banning of golf carts.

Moose Ridge Golf Course in South Lyon reopened the course, but after consulting with lawyers, they believed the order does not specifically ban the use of golf carts. Under this interpretation, Moose Ridge has unveiled a new safety divider between the driver and passenger in the golf carts.
