With that said I called Cane Garden and it is true....
On the previous document, it’s bullet point #6 on page 14.

It’s intended to let people know that no more than two people can go onto the course in one cart such as three golfers or two golfers and a spectator in a four seat cart.

For a pastime activity that is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable it is hilarious there are so many complaints about it. Glad I never had the urge to pick up the game.

No more than two golf cars will be allowed when golfers share the same reservation number and the same tee time.

When ‘special circumstances’ occur, making 3 golf cars an option, one golf car must remain off the fairway on each hole.

No more than three golf cars will be allowed in any group.

Exception: Only executive courses that have continuous
golf car path may allow up to four golf cars in a group with two golf cars remaining on the golf car path at all times.

Finally, someone answered the question and posted the answer, as it relates to the supposed Nov. 1 date. It only took 4 pages of nonsense posts.

Thank you for answering and posting.

I guess my response, #24, was useless and a waste of your time. My apologies. Also, my apologies that you had to take time out of your day to respond to it.

Won’t happen again.

Cut and paste makes it look contradictory. Having an attention span to read the whole comment would benefit you greatly.

No big deal, a lot of my time gets wasted on this site, when people don't bother to read the original or subsequent posts and prefer to restructure questions to suit their needs.

We're all used to it.

I don't think it would take much. I did it the other day because I was still coughing from a cold, and didn't want to subject anyone to my noise. Also if you explain you might not be able to play 18, because of an ailment, you'll probably get an OKEE-dokee from the starter.

I realize they do this BS outside TV but inside TV is total nonsense because one trail fee includes everyone in the household but not outside the household like your neighbor golfing buddy. My wife doesn't play golf and neither does his.

It's probably no coincidence they made the executive courses much harder to walk down south.

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.
Single rider carts are called " A SOLO RIDER"

And correct me if I'm wrong, but they are generally reserved for those few golfers who can't get in and out of a cart, has a swivel seat so they can hit from a semi seated position and may drive onto the greens. They are NOT to be construed as an option for someone who just wants to ride alone. Unlike those lazy slobs who request a wheelchair at the airport then literally run out of the terminal after claiming their 2 40# bags of luggage (and I was standing at the carousel right next to someone who did this 4 weeks ago----unbelievable, but that's why they don't have enough staff to push the passengers with legitimate needs to their gates)
