Cart Path Only

A course policy requiring golf carts to remain on designated paved paths rather than driving on grass areas, typically implemented to protect course conditions during wet weather or maintenance periods. Cart path only rules help preserve turf quality and prevent damage during vulnerable conditions. Understanding cart path policies helps golfers plan for additional walking and pace of play considerations. These restrictions may affect club selection and strategic planning due to longer walks to balls. Cart path only conditions often require patience and additional physical effort from golfers.
