Golf Cart Policy

The Alamo City Golf Trail reserves its rights to restrict/direct golf cart traffic on all golf facilities. We have implemented GPS “geofencing” at all our facilities to limit cart access to sensitive areas or as conditions warrant. This policy ensures that we can continue to provide the best possible playing conditions by preventing damage to the course and safety for customers.

Please understand that golf cart traffic may adversely affect turf as well as playability. We appreciate your cooperation in using and exercising good judgment. Any use of carts off the cart path is at your own risk and any problems or injuries resulting from such use are the golfer’s responsibility. For safety reasons, we strongly discourage the use of the golf cart on severe slopes or through tall grass areas. Natural, un-mowed areas may be designated as environmentally sensitive; please avoid these areas with the golf cart.

Carts will not be allowed inside any roped off areas. Course staff reserve the right to restrict all cart traffic in the rare instances when moisture, new turf, or other weather related, or maintenance-related conditions create a safety issue or instances which would result in cart traffic causing damage to the course. On such days, the course in its entirety, or specific holes will be designated “Cart Path Only”. Par 3 holes are considered Cart Path Only, at all times.

Golf Cart Rules

  • The use of private golf carts and unauthorized vehicles is prohibited on golf course property. A private cart is defined as a vehicle with 2 or more wheels that has a seat.
  • Carts must be rented from the pro-shop.
  • If an additional cart is needed for a spectator, a cart fee will apply per spectator riding in the cart.
  • A valid driver’s license is required to operate golf carts.
  • Please observe all cart path signs and GPS geofencing.
  • Carts are to be kept at least 25 yards from greens and tees and must remain on the cart path on par 3’s and around teeing areas.
  • Golf carts are to be used on the course only and must be returned to the clubhouse upon completion of play
  • A maximum of two people, including small children, are allowed to ride in a golf cart.
  • Children ages 7 to 12 must never be left in a golf cart by themselves.
  • Golfers should always exercise caution when parking carts near ponds and waterways.
  • Please ensure that parking brakes are set.
  • Golfers are asked to report any cart malfunctions immediately.
  • When operating a cart, operators assume all risks and shall be liable for any and all damages sustained to person, property and/or cart in their operation

Persons with Disabilities Designation

Golfers with disabilities, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA,) may request clubhouse staff members for use of an ADA designated golf cart. These carts allow a golfer to access restricted areas around greens and bunkers as course conditions warrant. Golfers using the ADA designated carts are permitted to drive to within 30 feet of the greens, not to include collars and areas between greens and greenside bunkers/ponds/streams. Note: This does not include par 3 holes.

Violation of our golf cart policies may result in suspension of golf privileges.
