2025/26 Winter Cart Rules

Gate System Reminders

The carts driving on the fairways must use the "Gate System" including Medical Flag Carts.
Keep the cart on the path until reaching the "Entry Gate" to the fairway.
Avoid the temptation to drive straight to the first ball and enter through the "Entry Gate"
Carts should remain on the over-seeded fairway until reaching the "Exit Gate."
Only Medical Flag Carts have access to the rough.
Only 2 Carts allowed on the fairways. (Pair Up)
Only Medical Flag Carts have the ability to switch throughout the hole.
Keep the cart on the path after using the "Exit Gate"
Follow all posted cart signs.

No Cart Zone Reminders

Example of "No Cart Zone" on Catalina #1

"No Cart Zones" are in effect on all courses open to cart traffic

All cart traffic is restricted in these areas. These areas will provide a visual yellow line that should not be crossed by any golf cart, including "Medical Flag Carts". This system will improve course safety and course conditioning.

Reminders:

A yellow line will designate the "NO CART ZONE" on each hole

The gates must still be used by all carts.

Fairway cart signs should still be used as the proper location to exit the fairway and return to the cart path.

Sad #2, Cat #5, Cat #6, and Cat #8 will not have lines due to limited space and/or steep slopes. All carts should remain on the path when around these specific green complexes or holes if it is a par 3.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work to improve golf course safety and enhance course conditioning.
