    • All golfers must maintain a reasonable pace of play; faster players should be invited to play through.
    • Maximum persons allowed in a cart is two. One cart per twosome and two carts to a threesome or foursome.
    • Carts must remain 30 yards away from the greens and on the cart paths where provided.
    • Please repair all ball marks promptly upon reaching green.
    • All golfers must have their own clubs while playing.
    • Please do not use the golf course as a practice range. Play one ball only.
    • All golf carts must have a current cart permit with ID number.
    • All golf carts operating on the course must have turf tires.
    • Private carts used on the course must be electrically powered.
    • Any non-standard sized golf cart must be pre-approved prior to operating on the golf course.

CART RULES

  • While gas powered golf carts are permitted to be used within the On Top of the World residential communities, they are not allowed to be used on any of the On Top of the World golf courses.
  • All privately-owned golf carts must be permitted by the Resident Service Department of On Top of the World Communities. If they are not permitted, they will not be allowed on any golf course property.
  • Golf carts must remain on the paths on all par 3’s on the courses.

Only when the player is directly across from their ball will they leave the cart path and proceed to their ball. After the shot is taken, the player will return directly to the cart path. If it is not practical to do this in order to get to your partners ball, then proceed to his/her ball directly.)
