Operation of Golf Carts and Low Speed Vehicles in Eagle Harbor

Eagle Harbor is one of the few communities in Clay County that are fortunate enough to be approved for Golf Cart use on the roads of our community. While this is one of several wonderful amenities that we enjoy, it is very important that laws that govern the use of golf carts be followed to maintain resident safety. Many of the laws can be found in Florida Statute 316.212.

A common misperception of a Golf Cart is that due to its low speed, it is a relatively safe vehicle. However, when operated outside of the laws, it can present hazardous conditions that may result in serious injury. There are approximately 13,000 Golf Cart related accidents per year that require emergency room visits. Approximately 40% of those accidents involve children under the age of 16 and half of those are due to a fall from a moving cart. It is also very important to be cautious when turning left in a Golf Cart as this is when most Golf Cart accidents take place.

In Eagle Harbor, Clay County authorizes golf carts to be operated on roads located north of Hwy 220 and west of Hwy 17. Golf carts are NOT authorized to be used in Eagle Cove, Eagle Crest, Eagle Perch, The Reserve, Stone Creek, Eagle Nest, Black Creek or anywhere on the commercial properties.

You are required to abide by all laws governing golf cart usage. Some of the laws relating to golf cart use found in FS 316.212 are as follows:

1. A Golf Cart cannot exceed 20 miles per hour.

2. Golf Carts can only be operated on

designated roads where the speed limit is 30 miles per hour or less.

3. Starting Oct 1, 2023, Drivers must be 15 years or older with a driving permit or license.

4. Golf Carts can only be operated from sunrise to sunset.

5. Golf Carts cannot be driven on any sidewalks.

6. Golf Carts must be equipped with sufficient brakes, reliable steering apparatus, safe tires, a rearview mirror, and red reflector warning devices on both the front and rear.

7. Operators can be arrested for DUI on a Golf Cart.

8. Operators can receive a citation against their driver’s license (or future driver’s license) for violation of Florida Statute 316.212.

If your golf cart goes more than 20 miles per hour, it is no longer classified as a “Golf Cart,” but is classified as a “Low Speed Vehicle(LSV)” and must be registered with the State. According to Florida State Statutes, Low Speed Vehicles operate under a different set of rules than do Golf Carts. Consult Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles www.FLHSMV.com:

1. Any person operating a Low-Speed Vehicle must have in his or her possession a valid driver’s license.

2. Low Speed Vehicles must be equipped with head lamps, stop lamps, turn signal lamps, tail lamps, reflex reflectors, parking brakes, rearview mirrors, windshields, seat belts, and vehicle identification numbers.

3. Low Speed Vehicles must be registered, insured and display a license plate!

4. Low Speed Vehicles may not exceed 25 miles per hour.

5. Low Speed Vehicles can only be operated on designated roads with posted speed limits of 35 miles per hour or less.

6. Low Speed Vehicles cannot be driven on any sidewalks.

7. Operators can be arrested for DUI on a Low-Speed Vehicle.

8. Operators can receive a citation against their driver’s license for violation of Florida Statute 316.2122.

In addition to the Golf Cart and LSV Florida laws, the CDD requires that all Golf Carts and Low Speed Vehicles register with Eagle Harbor prior to operating within the District. Registration is free and can be done at www.Eagleharboronline.com or visiting Waterfront Park.

Failure to register and properly display the registration decals may result in suspension of user privileges of the facilities and amenities.
