SANTA ANA (CNS)—Code enforcement officers have been dispatched to several golf courses and a tennis club in southern Orange County that have refused to close during the stay-at-home COVID-19 order.

“The Aliso Viejo (Country) Club is allowing members to walk the course. They’re not taking this seriously,” Orange County Supervisor Lisa Bartlett said. “We actually got complaint calls from neighbors asking why is a golf course open, why is a tennis club open?”
