Hmm. So I’ve only lived here three years and play three times per week on “championship” courses. No starter or ambassador has ever told me or playing partners only two carts on the fairway at a time. And prepandemic I have played in a group with one cart with two golfers and two single carts. And from what I’ve seen doesn’t look like many others have been told about that rule as well. So hypothetically, if all for balls wind up at the same general area on the fairway, who gets to ride their cart to the ball?
This is overkill. Course management can easily decide when particular fairways are designated carts on rough only per the condition of the fairways at any point during the day. With the exception of the recent rains, the majority of the fairways are rock hard and not affected by carts. What does affect the quality is the lack of etiquette on the part of those who don’t fill divots, drag their feet on the greens, drive up to greens within ten feet or less, etc.
