WHAT ARE THE TOP 3 GOLF CART SAFETY CONCERNS? #1 - Underage drivers driving carts In order to keep our children and/or grandchildren safe, it is extremely important they have a driver’s license prior to being allowed to drive a golf cart on property. Should we encounter underage or non-licensed golf cart drivers, we will have them park the cart, provide them transportation to their destination and contact the resident. Please help us by educating your guests and family members of this very important rule. #2 - Overloading Golf Carts and children standing on the back of carts We understand that during the holidays, you may have a large number of family and/or friends visiting at your home. We are all thankful for the opportunity for family and friends to visit. However, this can create situations where you may not have enough golf carts for family/friends to travel on property. We encourage you to contact the golf shop ahead of time and rent a cart while your family/ friends are in town. This helps reduce the situation where guests overload a golf cart to travel on property. Many bad things can happen with children sitting on the laps of adults or standing on the back of carts while driving down the road. You may transport as many people on your cart as can be

seated with their backside safely on the seat. #3 - Golf Carts not stopping at STOP Signs

This is a situation where the person driving the golf cart will pay the ultimate price, financially and possibly, physically. When a golf cart does not stop at an intersection where vehicle traffic exists, they will always lose the encounter. Eventually, the assumption that the other vehicle will stop or slow down will catch up with a driver that takes that risk on a daily basis. For your own safety and that of your passengers, please stop at all intersections with STOP Signs.
