HANDICAP FLAG PRIVILEGE
The golf shop offers the use of handicap flags for golf carts for those individuals who, for medical reasons, will
benefit from their use (the “Handicap Flag Privilege”). A golfer who submits a valid handicap parking permit from
any government agency may be extended this privilege. Handicap Flag Privileges may be suspended or revoked,
with or without warning, for abuse of this privilege.
RULES OF THE HANDICAP FLAG
1. A golf cart displaying a Handicap Flag may be driven up to the green or tee.
2. AT NO TIME should a golf cart displaying a Handicap Flag be parked or driven on the green or tee.
3. NO GOLF CARTS are allowed beyond the boundary of the golf course which is defined by out-of-bounds
stakes.
4. In case of inclement weather or certain golf course conditions, golf carts may be restricted to the cart
paths. NO HANDICAP FLAG PRIVILEGE will be extended for that time. If “cart path only” is limited to select
holes, Handicap Flag Privileges will NOT be extended for those holes so designated.
5. Handicap Flag Privileges are extended only to the person who has submitted valid documentation and
has been approved for its use. This privilege does NOT extend to an additional golf cart rider or other
person who is not registered for Handicap Flag Privileges.
6. The Ranger/Starter has absolute authority for all traffic control. If a player refuses to abide by the rules of
the day (as stated above), his/her Handicap Flag Privileges may be suspended after review by the
Director of Golf.
7. The Association is happy to extend the Handicap Flag Privilege to those golfers who qualify for its use.
