Then, a 3some pulled up to play, without stopping at the starter's shack. I politely told them the course was closed, but they ignored me, and went to the first hole and teed off.

What really annoyed me though were the people who drove on the fairway, after all the rain we just had. The old, Starter/Ranger in me wanted to drive up to them, and read them the riot act.

Call community watch next time. Nothing can be done now

God wouldn't play golf, ever. She'd always win, because she's perfect. And that would be boring. God would not want to spend eternity being bored.

Community Watch will not do anything.

The people out here that are over reacting to this are probably folks that still have masks on! Lighten up people!

You’re part of the problem. It is a big deal! Amenities don’t “entitle” you to do what you darn well please! Disgusting!!

I agree but the op didn’t elude to a closed sign being located by the first tee.

Are you referring to executive courses?

Well, the OP stated the course was closed. If it was closed, there would have been an orange cone and a sign on the way to the first tee. So your point was????? And while the OP didn't ELUDE any sign, he didn't ALLUDE to one either

First of all, it wasn't clear if this was an exec or champ course. If it was a champ course these people were TRESPASSING and I would call the community watch if after the clubhouse was closed.

Second, did these people pay a yearly trail fee or was it ala carte? If so, they were stealing from the CDD on an exec

Third, and MOST IMPORTANT, amenities are not solely a benefit paid for in the monthly fee, they come with RESPONSIBILITIES as well.
My amenity fee pays for flowers in the RB's and intersection. Does that mean since I paid I can trample all over them?
I pay to maintain the Rec centers, does that mean I can break in at 2 AM and play billiards? (And no one tell me that isn't the same---when you drive your cart past the "course closed" sign, you are essentially breaking in).
Those who suggest that this behavior is acceptable are just promoting anarchy. (which is what you get when there are no rules or the rules are being ignored.) Imagine what TV would be like if EVERYONE ignored the rules, not just some entitled, selfish few???? You wouldn't survive a RB. or a MMP. There would be dead cyclists and pedestrians strewn all about. The golf courses would look like a minefield. Properties would look like a slum.

If the sign says "course closed", IT IS CLOSED, and for a reason. It's not up to you to decide if it is a valid reason or if you agree with it, or if YOU don't think you are doing any damage. JUST FOLLOW THE RULES!!!!!

End of rant.

You summed it very well!

Based on what rule?

You are SO wrong.
