In the past few years there have been many discussions about golf cart usage in Gulf Shores. Actually there were problems implementing golf cart rules along all coastal communities. But in the last two years the rules have been followed and the approved roads for golf cart usage have been selected.

All you have to do is keep the cart in good shape and have it inspected.

The Gulf Shores Police Department will be conducting golf cart inspections at these locations on the following dates and times:

2/15/2025
Craft Farms Clubhouse, 8 am - 11 am
Aventura, 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm

2/22/2025
Craft Farms Clubhouse, 8 am - 11 am
Martyn Woods entrance, 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm

IMPORTANT: To register your golf cart, you must be a licensed driver, 18 years or older, present a valid insurance card for the golf cart and proof that you reside in the community that your golf cart is being inspected in. The fee to register is $25 payable at the time of the inspection. Your golf cart must have seatbelts.
