A previous poster said the "new rules" say that no more than (2) carts with the "same Reservation Number".

I've played 200 rounds in TV and in at least 150 of those rounds, we had at least 3 carts. Palmer Legends has a specific "rule" that allows 3 carts. Every other course's rule seems to be "no more than (2) carts in the Fairway at one time".


Also. The Citation reads: "If a golfer needs greater access on and around the course, such as driving onto or near the greens and tees, a "single rider golf car" must be used. Each Championship Course has single rider golf cars available for use on the Championship or
Executive Courses".


I've never see a "single rider golf cart" in TV and I've played in plenty of groups, with carts driving almost onto the Greens.
Couple of examples for special circumstances, 1) Fourth player joins under a different reservation number than the original threesome, 2) Someone with health concerns that would pose a risk to themselves or others to pair up.

Single rider golf carts are referred to as Solo Rider carts that are required for golfers with mobility issues. Each Championship Course has a Solo Rider.

The flyers for the new rules are posted today in each pro shop or starter shack bulletin board.

I think most pros would be happy to answer your specific questions or address any concerns.
