To San Antonio Open Players:

Thanks for entering the 2021 San Antonio Open Golf Championship.

COVID RELATED CONSIDERATIONS

The hopefully last remnant of COVID restrictions is that the city of SA mandates that masks be worn in the clubhouse. Please be mindful/thoughtful of the Cedar Creek/tournament staff and other players in the clubhouse. Don’t forget to bring a mask. If you forget, there are masks just inside the door to the pro shop.

Golf carts: Due to limited availability of golf carts, only 2 golf carts per group will be necessary so everyone who wants to ride will be able to. Please inform the person with whom you will be sharing a cart your status regarding current COVID symptoms, exposure within the past week, or vaccination. Please let us know of any issues and we’ll do our best to come up with a solution.
