The Championship courses are very strict about after hours use.

Shortly after moving here, one day during the summer my hubby and I decided to take an evening drive on a championship course in my golf cart, staying on the cart path of course. We wanted to get a good view of the sunset and the courses are so beautiful.

We hadn't gone 20 ft and someone in a (non ambassador) cart came racing up to us and read us the riot act. He ranted and raved and telling us he was an off duty ambassador, made it very clear that we were not welcome after hours. He was rather rude, no actually, VERY rude.

On the other hand, we live across from the Kildeer 8th green on the Evan's Prairie course. Often in the evening we see walkers, leisurely walking the cart trail or even biking. They aren't in anyone's way, but they are "breaking the rules" as we were.

You certainly won't find us reprimanding them for enjoying the evening.

But rules are rules......especially on the Championship courses.
