Anne Arundel County – Alcoholic Beverages – Golf Course License and Sports Activity Venue Licenses

HB 682 creates two new license types in Anne Arundel County for serving alcohol at specific venues: a Class C "golf course" license (for courses with nine+ holes) and "sports activity venue" licenses (for facilities offering activities like bowling, pickleball, or simulators). The golf license allows full liquor sales (beer, wine, liquor) 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily ($1,200 annual fee), while sports venues can sell beer/wine or full liquor with fees of $740 or $1,200. Both require alcohol sales only during active participation in venue activities, mandatory food service during hours, staff alcohol awareness training, and restrictions on consumption areas. The bill applies exclusively to eligible venues in Anne Arundel County starting July 1, 2026.
