Golf Cart Access....

The goal of directing golf cart traffic is to maintain pace of play while avoiding a concentration of traffic in any one area. Invariably, some portions of the course receive more than their fair share of traffic. Over the winter we've been installing stone pavers in the highest traffic areas to more permanently address chronically worn areas. But we've also developed a gate system we hope will further disperse traffic while maintaining pace of play.


Gate Post Construction
 

The poor weather experienced over the last few weeks has allowed the Maintenance Team the opportunity to design and build a new golf cart access system. We now have green and red posts on selected holes. On days that carts are permitted to leave the cart paths, we'll be using a system slightly different from the 90 degree rule. Now, after hitting your tee shot and moving toward the landing area to play your next shot, there will be green posts near the cart path. Remain on the cart path until you reach the green posts, then you may leave the path, drive to your ball and play your next shot. Later on, when you approach the green there will be red posts. We ask that all golf carts return to the cart path before passing the red posts.
 
The Maintenance Team will move the posts daily, or as required, to avoid excessive wear.
 
Green Posts: Leave cart path anytime after this point
Red Posts: Return to path before passing this point
