Golf Cart Laws
It is important for everyone to know the laws governing golf carts.
The Summerville police department is responsible for enforcing these laws.
If you have a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance, and a golf cart permit, you may drive the golf cart during the day within four miles of the address on your permit on roads with a speed limit of 35 mph or less. It’s important to note that golf carts are not allowed on the road at night even if they have lights.
