Golf Carts
Driving golf carts throughout the community is a great and convenient mode of transportation. Operators should follow the same rules and reminders as driving vehicles, such as the following:
- Obey all stops signs
- Turn lights on at night
- Drive on the right side of the road
- Underage drivers should have a permit or accompanied by an adult
- Driving while distracted - this could include mobile device use
- Yield to oncoming traffic - for instance another vehicle is partially blocking the road
- Pull to the side of the road if you see a fellow member and would like to talk. Blocking the road makes it inaccessible for oncoming traffic and can cause delays.
- Secure pets if they are to ride in your golf cart
- Allow visibility while raining and using the plastic rain protectors
