I would doubt that it would be officially approved because they would not be collecting fees for using a golf cart on the cart path. Also, there is no control over unscheduled use on the days set aside for maintenance of the course.

The more pertinent question might be, what do they do to you if they catch you using the course when it is closed?

I just now spoke with a former Community Watch person who said that if anyone were to be enforcing rules on the course it would be an Ambassador. If they are gone it is unlikely that any action would be taken.

I was also told that if the golfer was walking then the golf cart fee is not involved.

No official answer here, just some conjecture.

Here's a late thought. Why not just get the last tee time of the day? There would be no one behind you to watch you play or to get impatient if you play slowly. Enjoy!
