I can understand liability problems with people walking and playing at the same time, but there shouldn’t be any stray golf balls at 6 am or after the final round of the day. It would be a lot safer than dodging speeding carts or walking on public roads in neighborhoods, and quieter and lovelier. It’s a bit like saying, “You can walk in the streets, so why should we let you walk in the park on the paths.”

It is a liability issue, I can not understand why that is so hard to grasp. Lets say you opt to walk the course at 6 AM, and the power sprinklers come on and knock you over. Or chemicals have been applied that may affect you. People would sue and sue and sue. Stay off the courses if you are not playing, it is really that simple!
