Why not just say.....Hey, kids....what are you up to? Please stay on the path.
No one is allowed on the golf courses unless they are playing golf. Not walkers, not ball hunters, not anyone except the maintenance crews and the staff and people who have checked in to play golf and their spectators.

The golf courses don't belong to us, and those are the rules.

This may be new to folks who just moved here but WE don't own them, they aren't common areas.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but have lived on golf courses for three decades, and have seen and helped pay for the damage done by kids...who may or may not have "meant well"

So I truly understand what your kind thoughts are... .and that is my fairest response.

There are some areas that golf courses have public paths adjacent to them and that may have been where these kids were and this all just might be another "tempest in a teapot".
