The rules on golf courses are the same everywhere. No recreational walkers-no dog walking - no playground activities -no bicycling, etc . In fact the only appropriate activity is golf. These rules are not just for the convenience of golfers, but are critical to safety. Golf balls typically travel at more than 100mph even when hit by old weak guys like me. Most people who use the course for purposes other than golf are just ignorant of the danger involved, but I have encountered some who are very beligerent. Postings on the course are helpful but they cannot be placed at every possible entry spot. Golfers would be doing violaters a service by asking them to leave the course and informing them of the dangers involved.
