Golf Club of Dublin – Cart Path Policy
To ensure guest safety and protect the integrity of our turf, the Golf Club of Dublin enforces a three-phase Cart Path Policy. These phases may change daily based on course conditions.
Phase 1: Scatter Rule / Fairway Access / 90 Degree Rule
- Carts are allowed to cross fairways or operate under the scatter rule (drive in fairways with no restrictions unless otherwise posted).
- Please follow all signage and staff instructions to avoid wet or sensitive areas.
- Use best judgment to preserve course conditions and avoid visibly stressed turf.
- Crossing fairways at a 90-degree angle from the cart path to your ball and returning to the cart path is a preferred method.
Phase 2: Cart Path Only with Handicap Access
- Carts must remain on paths, except for handicap-flagged carts, which are permitted to cross fairways at designated points.
- Handicap guests must display a valid handicap flag or obtain approval from the golf shop. Permission will be granted after approval, and the golf cart will be given permission to drive off the path.
- Fairway crossings should be done at 90-degree angles and minimized where possible.
Phase 3: Cart Path Only (All Guests)
- Carts must always remain on designated cart paths.
- No exceptions, including for handicap-accessible guests.
- Implemented to ensure maximum safety and minimize turf damage, especially during or after inclement weather.

Daily cart policy status is available in the Pro Shop Staff and with the Starter/Rangers. Course staff reserves the right to modify policies at any time based on weather and turf conditions.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain excellent playing conditions year-round.
2026 Greens Aerification Dates, Rates, and Why
The Golf Club of Dublin aerifies its greens as an important part of maintaining healthy, high-quality putting surfaces. Aerification relieves soil compaction, improves air and water movement to the roots, reduces excess thatch, and encourages stronger root growth. While the process temporarily impacts putting conditions, it ultimately produces healthier, firmer, smoother, and more consistent greens throughout the season.
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to providing premier golf course conditions for you in the future.
Greens Aerification – Day 1 – will take place on Tuesday, September 1st.
– Tee Times will be open for 18 Hole Tee Times and will say 9 holes online as we only have 1 side of the course to work with. Rate is $52 to play 9 or 18 (normal 9 hole rate). You will play greens that have not been aerified, normal greens. Call the Golf Shop for any questions.
