GPS Golf Cart Update

A recent update to the geofence relating to restricted areas of the golf course on review has found the command of stopping the cart, with a message to reverse out has been found to in some cases shutdown the golf cart completely.


We are also aware of a small number of members doing the wrong thing by reversing into areas that they shouldn't be driving into in order to get access to their ball.

Now when a cart user drives into a protected area, the reverse feature has been replaced and will now slow carts to 4mph along with a beeper and a message to return to Fairway or Cart path. The beeping will not stop until the cart is back on the fairway. This will hopefully avoid bad behavior and any future cart shutdowns. 


Members are reminded to not drive carts into the rough areas, teeing grounds or putting greens including the backs of greens).

Repeat offenders may face the disciplinary committee.
