Over the past several months, there has been an increase in severe accidents involving golf carts. Due to their sensitive steering, high centers of gravity, lack of stability, and inherent lack of standard safety features, golf carts must be operated with caution and respect.

Just like regular vehicles, operators of LSUVs and golf carts must be at least 16 years old and possess a valid state driver's license. Please review the information below for more requirements regarding golf carts and LSUVs.

- Must carry liability insurance that permits operation within BT and be registered with Bent Tree. Registration can be done at the Front Gate. 

- Must have a steering wheel and foot controls for acceleration and braking. 

- Must be equipped with headlight and taillights if used at night. 

- Must be equipped with rear view mirrors if used on BT roads and should move to side of the road to allow cars to pass where it is safe with adequate visibility. 

- May only be used on BT paved and gravel roads or owner’s property (no off-roading). Only golf carts with a paid trail fee or paid daily use fee may be driven on the golf course. 

- Operation of golf carts or LSUVs while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a violation of state law and Bent Tree Rules and Regulations.

To register a golf cart or LSUV, complete the form below and turn in to our team at the Front Gate with proof of insurance. We will affix a registration decal to your vehicle.
