GOLF CART REGULATIONS

It has been brought to our office’s attention that there have been several incidents involving minors operating Golf Carts throughout the community. The most recent situation involved a homeowner almost hitting a Golf Cart that crossed the road from the Cart Path without stopping to check for traffic first.

South Carolina Law (56-2-105) requires that all persons who operate golf carts to have the following:

• * A valid SC Driver’s license
• * Registration Certificate
• * Proof of liability insurance

We are asking that parents please restrict the use of driving a golf cart to only those who qualify to do so, and those who are legally allowed to operate one to please be mindful of the traffic flow within your neighborhood. All families with children and golf carts should remember the specific laws that govern anyone under the legal driving age.

With school beginning soon, the amount of traffic through the neighborhood is only going to increase in the afternoons. If you are a golf cart-owning parent within the community, please help us maintain neighborhood safety. We thank you for your help with this matter.
