Golfing around the South Coast on public courses won’t be exactly the same as last year, and it definitely won’t be the same as two years ago, before the era of COVID-19 restrictions changed everything.
This year at the Whaling City Golf Course at 581 Hathaway Road in New Bedford, “Conditions are as good or better than last year,” director Sue Carlson said. But last year was not its best year. The 6780-yard 18-hole Donald Ross Championship golf course closed from April until mid-May because of the COVID-19 shutdowns. Whaling City did not open the bar side of the lounge facility, only the restaurant. This year, the golf course offers better news. The restaurant and the clubhouse will be opening sometime this spring. The COVID safety protocols instituted in May remain in place as the course prepares to open up the parts that are still closed.

“We are reopening slowly as we work with the precautions in place,” Carlson said. “We are still requiring masks. We’ve opened the pro shop but are still taking precautions.”
“We have made this place the gem of New Bedford - we have improved the fairway, the greens, the irrigation.”
