At that time a policy banning metal spikes on all City of Fort Worth Municipal courses will take effect. The city joins more than 7,500 courses nationwide that have banned metal spikes. A recent survey of by the National Golf Foundation found that nearly 45 percent of U. S. golf facilities have switched to alternative spike and an additional 20 percent reported that their course is working actively to encourage their use. Benefits of using non-metal spikes far outweigh the use of traditional metal spikes. Not all courses allow metal spikes.
All courses allow soft spikes.
All City of Fort Worth courses will have alternative spikes for sale in the Pro Shops, and be able to assist in changing them over or provide tools to do so.
