Bulletin #15 - May 19, 2020
Clarification on Golf Cart Rule
NGCOA Canada has received clarification from the Government of Ontario today on the usage of golf carts as it relates to same household golfers sharing a single cart. The updated government guidance calls out that courses should:
Limit golf cart use to one cart per golfer with the exception of those golfers who reside in the same household; and consider providing sanitizing wipes for customers. NOTE: Riders on the same cart must be able to prove they live in the same household.

Seeking Clarity on these Member Questions
NGCOA Canada is also seeking clarity from the Ontario Government on these additional member questions related to power cart usage:

  • Can golfers have 2 golf bags on 1 power cart as long as it is the same golfer driving the cart for the entire round?

  • Are cart dividers (including hard plexiglass, bendable/roll-able plastic, etc.) legal and approved for use in Ontario?

As soon as we receive additional information or official confirmation we will be in touch.
