Effective Immediately…Due to multiple instances of severe cart damage in a relatively short period of time, You Must Be at Least 21 Years Old to Rent a Golf Cart. We will check ID’s. These carts are the Property of Norwoods Golf Club, and too often they have not been treated as such. The carts are strictly for facilitating individual’s rounds of golf and pace of play; not bumper cars or for X Games tryouts.
It is extremely fortunate that there were no serious injuries in this incident this morning. That could have easily ended very badly. But we are now taking these measures with Golf Cart Age Restrictions to hopefully limit these repeated incidents that continue to occur far too regularly.
A few other items have been occurring far too often as well that should be addressed. All of these will warrant removal from the golf course…No Outside Alcohol is permitted. We see many people filling up their golf bags with alcohol from their cars after checking in right before teeing off…If you pay for nine holes, you play nine holes (not 18). We see groups that check in for nine holes, but then they are coming off hole 18 green four hours later. We see that, you will not be allowed back…Driving Range Balls are for the driving range ONLY. Too many of those golf balls never find their way to the driving range, but they are found out on the golf course later on…And we do not allow 5somes or 6somes. Groups check in with back to back tee times as two groups of three, but by the second fairway, all six are in same group. It does not matter if playing a scramble or saying they will let people play through, playing in groups that large brings our pace of play down tremendously.
Thank you to the Vast Majority of our golfers who abide by the policies, and treat Norwoods with care. We strive to keep our course in top shape for each and every one of our community’s golfers, and one where everyone can enjoy a good day out on the course!
