On March 16, 2020  a "Shelter-in-Place" order by Alameda County Health Officer was order and implemented. On May 4, Redwood Canyon Golf Course reopened with social distancing measures in place.  The golf course is one of the better places to practice social distancing as the nature of tee times spreads players out over acres of playing field. And, golf provides promotion of positive mental health by playing a game, exercise and vitamin D from sunlight.
