Both Course still Closed.

Given the recent re-opening of some golf courses, we reached out to Devens to ask about opening back up. Their response is below, but the short answer is, not yet, and they will revisit on May 18.
The state is still restricting active recreational activities that involve the touching of common surfaces. Disc golf baskets would be a common surface that is a potential for contact and spread of the virus. Facilities like golf courses that have been allowed to re-open are allowed to do so only if they adhere to strict management provisions. We appreciate your taking the initiative to develop proposed guidelines however as this course is not actively managed, there are compliance and enforcement concerns. Active recreation facilities throughout the state are temporarily closed until Monday, May 18, 2020, at which time the closure of these facilities will be reassessed. Let’s see what transpires on the 18th and we can revisit this then.
We appreciate your cooperation during this emergency to help protect the health and safety of all Massachusetts residents. Hope you are staying well.
Please continue to respect the course closures. We will reopen as soon as we can do so safely. Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
