Golf Cart Policy

Dear members,
Over the past few years, our goal has been to present you the golf member, the best conditioned & maintained course in the region.  Over the past few years we have constructed several new paths in high traffic areas around the course and the scheduling of more is planned for completion this summer.
Initially Warragul was not designed for the use of golf carts, but we do understand that in this day & age the need for cart usage is at a premium.  On any given day we have no less than a dozen carts out on the fairways. More so on competition days.
Members would be aware of the need to restrict motorised golf cart traffic when adverse weather or turf conditions warrant. This policy ensures that we can continue to provide the best possible playing conditions in the long term.  In applying this policy, the club is well aware of the high number of golfers who cannot and do not play golf when these golf cart restrictions are in force.  We also recognise that the use of golf carts enhance member experience when playing here at Warragul.
After consideration by both Men’s & Ladies committees, the purpose of this notice is to advise Members of a further enhancement to the policy as follows:

• No more than two (2) carts per group of 4.

This change will further protect the condition of the course.  When making your bookings please consider who you are with and organise to “pool” together.  On the day of play, if the Pro Shop advises of your group having more than 2 carts, please organise with your fellow players to pair up.
Use of golf carts is at your own risk and for safety reasons we strongly discourage the use of the golf cart on severe slopes or through wet areas.
Consistent with current policy, course management reserves the right to restrict the use of golf carts in the rare instances when excessive heat, moisture stress, new turf, other weather-related or maintenance-related conditions create extreme safety issues or would result in any cart traffic causing excessive turf damage.
If you are unsure of whether golf carts will be permitted on any given day, please call the pro shop or check the Members section of the club website www.warragulcountryclub.com.au
If you have any questions, please contact me ph: 5623 2353 or email heath@warragulcountryclub.com.au
Kind Regards,
Heath Jones
Director of Golf
