Driving carts in inappropriate areas causes damage to the golf course and affects growing and playing conditions.
Golf Cart Rules & Guidelines - Generally, carts should remain on paved paths whenever possible, particularly near tee boxes and greens. - Carts should never be driven within 20 yards of the green, tee, or penalty area, except on paved paths, or where directed otherwise with directional arrows, signs, or ropes. - Carts for Members and/or guests who require handicap access, will be noted by the presence of a blue flag attached to the golf cart. These handicap access carts may be driven up to, but no closer than 10 yards from all features, including greens, tees, and penalty areas unless an exception is made through the Golf and Grounds Committee. - Avoid driving carts on steep slopes. - Do not drive carts in any fescue area. - Do not drive carts thru the small stakes, please drive around them.
