Highland Pacific Golf Power Cart Sharing and Single Rider Policy

Highland Pacific Golf

Purpose

To ensure there are enough power carts available for all players throughout the day and to conserve cart battery capacity (amp hours), especially during periods of high demand.

Policy Summary

  • Carts are shared at all times whenever possible (two riders per cart).
  • Players are expected to share with members of their group or any players they are paired with by the Starter.
  • Players who must ride alone will be charged a mandatory Single Rider Fee of $35 + tax.

(Note: Highland Pacific’s published cart rates list a per-person power cart rate and a single rider option, which this policy aligns with.)

Cart Assignment Rules

  1. Default cart allocation is two players per cart.
  2. If your group has an odd number of riders, one single cart may be assigned if available (e.g., threesomes), but sharing is still expected whenever pairing makes it possible.
  3. If you choose not to share, or request a solo cart when sharing is available, you will be required to pay the Single Rider Fee.

Single Rider Fee

  • $35 + tax (mandatory) for any player riding alone (by necessity or by request).
  • The Single Rider Fee helps Highland Pacific manage fleet availability and battery usage, and ensures fair access to carts for all tee times.

Where This Policy Is Enforced

This policy is monitored and implemented throughout the guest journey, including:

  • Check-in at the Golf Shop
  • Guest Services cart staging / cart pickup
  • The Starter at the 1st tee

Receipt Verification

To manage the fleet appropriately, Guest Services and Starter staff are required by management to:

  • verify player receipts, and
  • confirm cart seating aligns with this policy (shared carts unless a Single Rider Fee has been paid).

Non-Compliance

If a player refuses to comply with cart sharing when sharing is available, management may:

  • require payment of the Single Rider Fee,
  • reassign carts to maintain availability for later tee times, and/or
  • deny a solo cart request if carts are needed to support scheduled play.

Thank You
