In keeping with Governor Murphy’s Executive Order No. 147 issued on May 18, 2020, the Club’s tennis, handball, pickleball, basketball, and utility courts will be unlocked on Friday morning by 10 am. Playgrounds and picnic areas remain closed.
Those waiting to play are required to maintain the appropriate social distancing of six feet, and are encouraged to wear facial coverings. Players are also encouraged to bring their own hand sanitizers.
Notice: The COVID-19 Pandemic Is Ongoing
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, is an extremely contagious virus that spreads easily through person-to-person contact. Federal and state authorities recommend social distancing as a means to prevent the spread of the virus.
COVID-19 can lead to severe illness, personal injury, permanent disability, and death. Using the Club’s facilities or participating in its programs may increase the risk of contracting COVID-19 from others. Highland Lakes Country Club and Community Association in no way represents or warrants that COVID-19 infection will not occur through participation in our programs or accessing our facilities.
Studies have shown that many individuals infected with the Covid-19 virus experience no apparent symptoms (asymptomatic). For more information on this topic, the following is suggested reading from Johns Hopkins University:

Please remember, we have a duty to each other to practice social distancing. We trust that members and their children will understand that the authorized gradual reopenings of outdoor facilities may result in closure if conditions of the Governor’s Order fail to be met.

General Manager
