90-Degree Rule
Etiquette
Explained Simply
A cart rule allowing carts on the fairway — but you must drive straight from the path to your ball at a 90-degree angle, then straight back to the path.
Example
“Drive your cart on the path, turn 90 degrees directly toward your ball across the fairway, grab your club, hit, then drive 90 degrees back to the path.”
Why it matters
Reduces turf damage compared to freely driving anywhere. Better than cart path only for players but still protects the fairway.
Common beginner mistake
Driving diagonally across the fairway to your ball instead of the 90-degree path.
