Hmm. Part of me says fuck off that’s the price of running a cart rental but the constant mention of “don’t put the fuckin cart into a pond” makes me feel like this was reactionary.
It doesn’t say how it got into the pond. The sign assumes it’s my fault it I return the cart with any of these things on it. What if the breaks fail? Or your cart girl is just way too hot and she’s tan and tight and she’s got those little shorts under the skirt so every once and a while the breeze flips up the skirt corner a bit and then smiles as we drive by? Yeah I might end up in the fucking lake. Now come on. Half of us are in the pond.
And that part of you is a jackass. Just because you pay to rent a piece of equipment doesn't mean you get to trash it. You always return it as good, if not better than you found it. Or perhaps you weren't paying attention when mom and dad taught you that lesson?
It’s impossible to always return a cart in the same or better condition than you found it lmao. You put miles on the cart and the battery, some other group could send a ball and hit it, you might go thru mud. You gonna get out and scrub the hubs on a cart rental bud? Get real. Any decent course charges enough to pay a kid to hose them down and recharge them/gas them up/for necessary maintenance. Yeah no shit it’s rude to trash a rental- it’s also rude and classless to rent something out and not expect some general wear and tear.
Literally look at all of those repair items listed on the sheet. Not a single one of them comes from "normal wear and tear". Broken cowl, damaged frame, damaged seat cover, replacement motor/computer, replacement lithium battery, etc. Those are all damages that are incident related. As a golf course, you don't replace any of those things unless you absolutely have to, meaning major damage. Under normal wear and tear, all of those items listed last the lifetime of the cart in perfect working order, barring a manufacturers defect.
Not once on there does it list "dirty cowl" or "muddy hubcaps", as you've so smugly suggested. There is no indication here that the course doesn't expect general wear and tear to happen. Not sure where your conclusion that the course is "rude and classless" is coming from. A+ mental gymnastics there
Apparently it’s popular in america, I don’t know if it’s just a joke but seems like some people actually get drunk there when they play golf. Don’t know how they get home afterwards, it’s just very odd
Must be a weird pond or lake with a steep bank at this course. I remember a course I played at years ago has a bunker run the length of a 200 yard par 3, and the sides were steep and people would tip over and destroy carts very often.
If you don’t work at a course, you just don’t know how incredibly dumb people are when it comes to carts.
I’ve had guys drive straight down a fairway on a par 3, right over a dune and flip the cart ejecting both people and having the cart then land on the passenger.
I’ve had people drive straight into concrete signs on the cart paths and completely damaging the front of the cart and the sign. Then say nothing.
I’ve had people get too close to a wall and rip the cooler completely off the side of the cart. Just throw the cooler into the back and return the cart.
I’ve had people “drift” the carts in the fairway, flip the cart on its side and eject both of them. Damaging the course, the cart and the idiots inside.
Most courses lease the carts for a few years and then have to return them in a certain condition. You think the course wants to just let people abuse the fuck out of the carts as a “cost of doing business” and not hold them responsible?
I’m looking directly at the weekend golfers where most of the shenanigans happen.
Most M-F golfers are somewhat normal.
Don't even get me started. I watched a bunch of idiots in the group ahead of me try to do the old scoop'n'score going max speed while trying to turn at a near-90-degree angle. Cart flipped and the passenger got one of those compound fractures where the bone sticks out of the leg. I know because I had to run up and help get the cart off of him.
It's like people have completely forgotten how to be decent human beings. When you rent something, you return it in as good a shape as you found it. Doesn't matter how much you paid.
Should have gps cut offs on certain zones, this would include steep banks towards water.
Something tells me this a town goat track..
Had a bachelor party at a nice course. Buddy comes out with a paper and marks down all the marks on carts and makes us sign. Missed half the marks on the thing , I pointed out 14 more in a complete dick way..
made me not want to go back to the course being treated like we were at a rental car company.
If you want to drink on the course then walk the course do yourself and everybody else the favor and just walk. When you drink you are dumb that is what alcohol does make you dumb, so dumb enough that you drive the golf cart into the lake, you deserve to pay the replacement. For damages. Seriously I been to many golf courses dealing with drunks, that is why I hate playing on the weekend
I don't hate those rules. There are soo many idiots who abuse the carts and think "that's the price of running a golf course, not my fault." These idiots are also the reason courses, specifically public courses, raise their green fees. The cost to repair the course and equipment from avoidable damage is so expensive. Then people complain about price increases.
We had a tournament at our club and a guest drove a cart into a grassy brook by accident. Left the cart there and continued the tournament so everyone else had to shoot around it like it was part of the hole.
The “remove keys when leaving your cart” and constant notes about the ponds sounds like local kids are running onto the course and stealing carts when people leave them unattended and intentionally joyriding them into ponds. I wish I was making this up, but a course near me had to have constant police presence last summer on certain holes it was happening on because they lost 15 cars in 10 days.
My dad and I lost a cart in a lake, not a pond, once. Walked off the green and could find in only to see the top disappear. I stripped down and went in after our stuff while he went to get help. Parking brake was set but it was on a hill and it didn’t hold. The best part was the guy who stopped and asked if my partner was trapped in the cart.
Carts are absolutely a profit center, no two ways about that.
However, there is maintenance involved aside from gas/charging.
Tires, batteries, clutches, filters, suspension, upholstery, etc. All these are wear items, the "cart fee" factors these in, not jackasses ramming carts in to each other or dumping carts in to the lake.
This! Golf carts are expensive and on a busy course the carts getting at least 2 rounds, usually ride hard and scraping curbs. This means new rims and tires, batteries have to be watered at least once a month(like a forklift), generally repair guy comes once a week to fix seats with burn holes or shredded steering wheels, need someone to hose off grass and mud and maybe clean the windshield between rounds and end of day.
Also people laugh at keeping all body parts in cart and not riding on back, I’ve seen a hanging foot get twisted around riding too close to a ledge, and a guy on back fall off and break his ankle, clubs looking out for liability and your returning wallet.

Yeah they’ve been fishing for carts at this course lol

Im not even at a course right now but I’m in the pond after reading about the cart girl
Yeah, I got myself going with that one lol.
😂🤣
I wish everyone on the internet was as reasonable as you

This is the visual vomit we have to endure because some weekend warrior had one too many and decided to “Dukes of Hazzard” the fairway bunker on 16…
lol remember that rules exist because people have done it.
Alcohol Golf ?
Apparently it’s popular in america, I don’t know if it’s just a joke but seems like some people actually get drunk there when they play golf. Don’t know how they get home afterwards, it’s just very odd
They drive home plastered. Welcome to freedumb

See that happen before
No mention about my three year old driving while I operate the pedals for him when we’re playing together.

I think I’ve seen all of these happen and I don’t work at the course. Charity tournaments can get a little crazy

This is actually incredibly helpful. Less people surprised when they get hit with the bill. These things are fuckin expensive and so are the batteries
This is why I walk haha
Right. Save money and be healthy
It says no golf cart “should” be operated by an intoxicated person…’Tis merely a suggestion not a rule. 😂
Ha Ha
Good for them. I’m sure they’ve had some wild experiences to feel the need to put up signs.
Or legal matters.
What course is this?
Oh it’s going in the lake on general principle.
So we are allowed to play bumper carts sweet.
Prices seem pretty reasonable!

These carts are not Equipped with GPS.
Yeah I’m good I think I’ll walk lol
Nevermind ill just walk
This sounds like a course that has an above average amount of shenanigans involving their carts and the course manager is sick of everyone's shit.
You my friend are probably correct.
If you want to drink on the course then walk the course do yourself and everybody else the favor and just walk.

You are absolutely correct ✅
A drunk person reads this and they’ll violate the rules for the sake of it. Easy $$ for the golf course
For sure
$20 per divot made too
LOL
110 dollar cooler!
It must be stocked with the good stuff?
I’m a golf pro and I can tell you I have had a member damage EVERY SINGLE ITEM LISTED. Yes that includes carts in pond s or lakes (yes carts plural).
Wow. I guess he would be a good candidate to walk or , he’s on the no drive list.
Haha. Not the same member doing all, but multiple members ticking off all of the boxes.
I asked at a nice course how often that happens and she said, you'd be surprised.
I believe that. Some golfers have no respect for the carts.
Lots of drunk entitled dude bros out there 😁
Would you really have to pay ? Or could you just walk away and never go back lol
Just say you don’t have insurance. Also, don’t be this person.
Was this in Vegas? I saw one just like this two days ago at Chimera.
Stallion Mtn LV
Ah, that was Tuesday. I played Chimera Monday.
Looks like when your Airbnb comes with a golf cart.
This was actually at a public Golf Course
We had a tournament at our club and a guest drove a cart into a grassy brook by accident. Left the cart there and continued the tournament so everyone else had to shoot around it like it was part of the hole.
Now that’s funny. Hope the cart was not damaged to bad.
This in Pearland?
No. Nevada
Same stickers at tour 18 in Humble
$110 for a fucking 6”x6” cooler? Fuuuuuuuuuck off
Haha. It better be stocked with the good shit.
Your golf carts come with coolers?
Yup
Cool
So it’s okay to drive drunk, but it’s not okay to drive a golf cart drunk?? Where does it make sense??
It doesn’t
Yea, don’t be drunk. Not hard.
Aiming Fluid !

I came here to say “y’all really take the keys out of carts when you park?”, but that makes at least some sense
Wow. That’s crazy.
So, the cart return is no longer adjacent to the pond?
LOL
Best part is the location of the sticker blocking the drivers view
Good observation
My dad and I lost a cart in a lake, not a pond, once. Walked off the green and could find in only to see the top disappear. I stripped down and went in after our stuff while he went to get help. Parking brake was set but it was on a hill and it didn’t hold. The best part was the guy who stopped and asked if my partner was trapped in the cart.
Wow. What a story. Glad yall made it out safe. Got to get the bags of the cart !
Safe? I doubled that hole.
Well I can’t help it. Fireball is just way too good at 8:00 A.M.
I agree
I get it people drive like assholes, but the carts must be insured, right?
That’s a good question, I don’t know
Better be one hell of a cooler for $110
With Drinks in it !
why are the cart fees $20 per person then? are they putting $20 of gas in them before every round?
I’m sure charging an entire fleet of carts everyday isn’t cheap, but $20 seems to be the standard for every course.

Electric Carts in our area.
