No private golf club I've heard of permits golfer-owned push carts onto the course. And many clubs have an annual "cart plan" which amounts to the same thing as the "cart lease" the OP referred to. Most private clubs near me have push carts available for rental by the round; $8-$10 a round seems to be the norm.

Our course allows you to push your own cart - they'll even store them in the bag room.

Our local country club does the same. Max needs to get out more. ;0)

So I played the course today. Awesome course with tons of variety that used every club in my bag. Quite a bit of large hills so walking 18 would be pretty difficult. I'm thinking cart is the way to go so it all works out.

Thanks for the input. If anyone is ever in Akron Ohio let me know!

I'm thinking of marrying this woman who is ok with not having children, but insists on having three if we have them. That seems unreasonable to we. What should I do? <fast forward 30 thoughtful replies> We just had our first date and I like her so it all works out.

It may just be a thing where local customs hold sway. I know out west a lot of private clubs allow privately-owned motorized carts, while none do in my neck of the woods.

As for walker-friendly policies, that's very important to me. Our club permits walking any time (with no trail fee) except 8 am-1 pm Fri, Sat & Sun. That works fine for me.

Our club, and every in our area permit using your own push cart. I honestly feel it totally absurd not to allow them.

If i was a diehard walker who always pushed and invested in a quality expensive cart im immediately crossing out any club that wont let me usemy own equipment. Youre not asking to take out modified craftsman mower.


I get and appreciate the fact that some clubs are exclusive and want to project an image and make demands of atire, where one changes their shoes etc. But this seems like a pure money grab under tge guise of continuity. Tell them to sit on their cart fees and come slum with me at muni's and other Daily fee joints. Change your shoes wherever youd like.

Sorry for going OT, but I have heard of the 'no changing shoes in the parking lot' thing. Can anyone explain the rational here? Why is that considered low class? I never got that one. It's not like you're taking your pants off or something...

Yeah, the shoe thing, I don't get. I play mostly at a pretty well regarded club, and nobody cares where you change your shoes.

Well there is a locker room for a reason, for one. Our course doesn't have that rule, but we have guest lockers, and every member gets a locker. The rationale is likely along those lines.

The shoe rule is weird, but my guess is it came from the metal spike days. Minimizing where players wore their spikes would slow down the wear in certain areas. With plastic spikes it seems very outdated, but the custom has become just that with no actual purpose.

Your inbox is full.

If it was me i would be upset also. You dropped good coin on the push cart and should be able to use it.

I think clubs need to be more understanding to get members not alienate them and lose them.
