Why don't you let my young children drive the golf carts?
We know many of the young golfers who play at Parkview are talented and passionate about the game. Who knows... maybe the next Haeran Ryu, Nelly Korda, or Scottie Scheffler is out on our course today!
But being a great golfer isn't the same as being ready to drive a golf cart.
For that reason, we ask that only golfers with a valid driver's license operate our golf carts.
Our number one reason is simple: safety. Requiring a driver's license gives us a reasonable standard to help protect everyone on the course.
Here are just a few situations we've seen—or hope to never see:
* A young driver can slide off the seat and accidentally press the accelerator.
* A driver can mistakenly put the cart in forward instead of reverse.
* Quick turns, hills, wet grass, bridges, and uneven terrain can all make a golf cart more challenging to operate than many people realize.
* And with plenty of sand bunkers, ponds, and other hazards around the course... we'd really prefer our carts stay on the fairways and paths!
The photo with this post is a reminder that even licensed drivers occasionally find themselves in some interesting situations! Golf carts deserve the same care and attention as any other vehicle.
We appreciate your help in following this policy. It's in place to protect your children, your family, other golfers, our staff, and our equipment.
Thank you for helping us keep Parkview a fun—and safe—place for everyone to enjoy.
