Harford County - Alcoholic Beverages Licenses - Golf Simulator Facility
This Maryland law creates a new license category for golf simulator facilities in Harford County, allowing them to sell alcohol for on-site consumption under specific conditions. To qualify, the facility must be open to the public, have at least five simulator bays, and be primarily designed for golf simulation with dedicated seating. The license holder must provide food at all times when selling alcohol, and their business must meet strict sales ratios where at least 50% of revenue comes from bay rentals and at least 15% from food. Additionally, the facility is required to submit an annual report detailing sales of alcohol, food, and rental fees to ensure compliance before the license can be renewed.
