Golf Cart Policy on TV Courses Starting June 1
 

Posted on The Golf The Villages website:

Effective June 1, 2021, we will return to standard golf car procedures, as defined in the established operational guidelines.
This includes pairing up and limiting to 2 golf cars per group.
We continue to request your assistance with avoiding high traffic areas and keeping golf cars on paths as much as possible.

This could get interesting. There is no way anyone is getting in my cart unless I am certain that they have been vaccinated.

Good reason to walk.

I still wonder how they reconcile forcing somebody out of their cart when they have paid their trail fees to use it.

Contact TV manager Richard Bair (352) 751-3939 to share your feelings.

The unknown is: Was the fee based on more than single occupancy.

Isn't there still the option to have more than two carts, just not in the fairway??

Just called left message

The annual or semi-annual trail fee is certainly interesting. It covers the couple in a house and allows both of them to ride in any golf cart. It can be their own golf cart, a friend's golf cart, or a $3 rental cart at the course. If you don't pay the annual or semi-annual trail fee then each will pay $4 whenever they ride in any golf cart. How many people are riding in the cart is irrelevant.

You are CORRECT!

Wrong.
How the fee was determined is relevant.
Have a good day.

I want to let everyone know that Mr. Baier, our District Manager had major surgery in April to remove a tumor attached to several organs. He has also received chemo treatments. He is a very good man and thankfully is recovering to slowly return to work full time.

Everyone has issues that are important. I am sure he will address this issue as soon as he can.

I am not sure what you mean. The trail fee is per person, not per cart. Two people with paid trail fees in one cart isn't any different than two people with paid trail fees in two carts.

That's okay.

Thanks for clarifying.

Likely only refers to Championship Courses.

It applies to Executive courses also.

The starter at Roosevelt told my wife this morning it will be a maximum of 3 carts starting June 1. At least 2 golfers must pair up. Ridiculous for Executive courses where most never have a cart on the grass.

I realize this is different from the announcement but the guy was adamant.

Clarification will be coming out next week, the ambassador was incorrect.

Hopefully they continue with the rule that the person who refuses to double up is the one that gets to stay on the cart path.

The rules will be the same as pre covid, ONLY 2 carts on fairway at a time

Trail fees are per household not per person.

Read my previous post where I said the trail fee was for a couple in a house. You took this out of context and I was referring to the lack of difference between two people in one cart and two people in two carts.

OK. But, nothing in that says that the course can not restrict how many carts a group can take onto the course. Nor does is say that you have the right to have a cart to yourself. It is simply a way to pay to ride the course, rather than walk. Nothing more.

I never stated that. I was just clarifying the financial aspects.

Trail fee
 

Okay, but my Priority Membership includes the trail fee, yet my wife still has to pay $4 when we play the execs. Confusing to say the least.

I agree. And why don't single person homes have a reduced trail fee?

My days of playing Men's Day is finished for now. NO WAY am I going to ride within inches of a person (for 4 hours) that I do not know whether they have been vaccinated or not. I did not spend the last year being extremely careful to give up now. It is too soon to implement this action. Just another summer (snowbirds gone) to dump on the Villagers that live here year round.

So you haven't been vaccinated?
 

because if you had it means you can't get covid from someone else...or did you just get vaccinated because you like the needle?

Being ignorant is a choice a person makes even though they have the proper information available. Being stupid is not knowing the information they require is available.

The fee is based on the cart itself, not how many people are sitting in it.

You know you're ALLOWED to mandate that passengers wear masks while on YOUR golf cart right?

Actually, that is not correct. If one is a priority member, the trail fee only applies to that person, unless they have a couples priority membership in which case they are both covered. If a resident is not priority, but pays the trail fee, the trail fee applies to the household. We paid the trail fee for 6 months during the winter and both my wife and I were able to play the executives without the $4 per round trail fee. However, if I had a guest come visit and we played an executive, the guest riding in my cart would still have to pay the $4 trail fee, along with another $11 for not being a resident (I believe that fee drops to $7 during the slower season).

A friendly word of advise, if you feel the need to attack someone, at least do it intelligently or it just makes you look stupid and makes your attack look like its self-inflicted. I would suggest reading your posts very carefully before hitting the submit button, and looking at yourself in the mirror, albeit a very short mirror so your head is not cut off, and be sure your post actually contains something resembling even a shred of logic.

Also, thanks for making it so easy for me to respond to your attack.

Not true

From Golf The Villages

"Trail fees apply to the individual not the golf car. If you wish to bring a "guest" please be aware of all the policies regarding guest play."

This stuff is really not too hard to find

Seems like many people here have no friends to go out golfing with.
Those stragglers that come by themselves then wanting to sit there *** on someone else's cart, Go find a friend and team up! :rant-rave:

Confused....what was not logical about the post?

So we are to follow CDC guidelines. Two in a cart but maintain 6 ft social distancing if the other person is not vaccinated!

The annual trail fee, if you pay it, is for exec courses. Trail fee for championship courses is included in the cost you pay to play. One way to be able to avoid being paired up is to tell them you smoke.

Got to admit, everything is so simple and easy to understand on TOYV!:1rotfl:

I spoke with a starter yesterday about a third cart which can occur when a 4th is added to a three-some. He said the 3rd cart would have to remain on the cart path. Seems to me, this was the pre-Covid policy.
