Be certain to set the brake when coming to a complete stop. Use extra care when operating a golf car in reverse, or on hills, wet turf, loose surfaces or rough terrain. Remove the key when the golf car is not in use. Do not operate a golf car when impaired by alcohol or drugs. Tire ruts in soft, wet areas can take weeks to heal.
Compaction caused by heavy traffic can also ruin the playing surface.
You can help prevent damage by following the course's standard golf car policy and obeying temporary restrictions caused by weather, construction or other factors. Stop your vehicle to avoid distracting a nearby player who is preparing to hit a shot. Never drive into yards or neighboring properties. General tips Never drive a golf car through standing water in fairways or any turf areas that are obviously wet. Never drive onto a green, collar or tee or any marked hazard.
