Etiquette for Using Vintage Car Golf Cart

Every unnecessary use of a vintage car golf cart will add unnecessary wear and tear on the golf course turf, compacting the soil one more time. On the course, players using a vintage car golf cart properly can avoid a lot of unnecessary damage to the course.


Usage Notes for Vintage Car Golf Cart


  • Vintage car golf carts should avoid tee areas and stay about 30 feet away from the green.

  • When driving a vintage car golf cart, sudden turns, speeding, or abrupt stops can damage the turf.

  • Follow the 90-degree rule. Whenever possible, protect the fairway turf and drive the vintage car golf cart on the path. The 90-degree rule stipulates that vintage car golf carts can be driven on the fairway but must maintain a 90-degree angle with the path.

  • When the course requires vintage car golf carts to stay on the cart path, golfers must drive on designated paths. Drive to a spot parallel to where the ball landed and then walk to the ball.


Road Requirements for Vintage Car Golf Cart


Vintage car golf carts have limited performance, so they have certain requirements for the roads they travel on. The main requirements for vintage car golf carts are:


Vintage car golf cart roads should have sufficient load-bearing capacity and be regularly maintained, without compromising vehicle safety.


Vintage car golf cart roads should have good visibility and be easy to turn, avoiding slopes, steep hills, narrow passages, and low clearances.


In areas where pedestrians or other vehicles may be encountered, the road must be wide enough.


Vintage car golf cart roads should ideally have no more than a 25% grade. Both the top and bottom of slopes should have smooth transitions to prevent the vehicle's bottom from hitting the ground. Slopes exceeding 25% should have signage.


What Should the Course Do to Ensure the Proper Use of Vintage Car Golf Carts?


Establish vintage car golf cart usage guidelines:


By establishing reasonable vintage car golf cart usage guidelines, unnecessary turf wear and soil compaction can be reduced, balancing the usage rate of the golf carts.


Some golf courses allow the use of privately owned vintage car golf carts, but require golfers to share one cart, which is highly effective.


Some courses impose extra fees for wear and tear on private vintage car golf carts. These fees can provide sufficient funds for additional aeration, seeding, turf laying, fairway and rough fertilization, and other maintenance tasks to offset the damage caused by golf cart traffic. These measures are taken in the best long-term interest of the golf course.
