Accessible Golf

Accessible golf carts are available on our three courses!

We offer accessible golf carts to make the popular sport of golf more available to individuals with mobility impairments. Operated by hand controls, the seat raises and lowers as well as swivels to allow positioning to the ball. The golf bag is mounted to the front for easy access to the clubs.

Availability

The accessible carts are available for use by beginning golfers at the driving range; more experienced golfers may use the carts on the 9-hole course. The fee for use is $7 per round of golf, or free with a bucket of balls at the driving range.

Golf Policies

Policies and procedures are in place to govern the way golfers use the course. The purpose is to ensure the quality of the course and enable all golfers to play undisturbed and safely.

It is a player’s responsibility to know and understand the policies of each course prior to stepping on the course. Local course rules will be posted in the Pro shop, on score cards or on signage around the course. Etiquette is the consideration of other golfers.

Upon arrival, check into the Pro shop to pay your fees.

No Show Policy

To ensure an enjoyable and efficient experience for all our golfers, Paint Branch Golf Complex has established a No-Show Policy. This policy helps us manage tee times effectively and provide the best possible service to all our guests. Please review the details below:

Booking and Cancellation Guidelines

Cancellation Policy:
-Cancellations or modifications to tee times must be made at least 24 hours in advance.

No-Show Policy

Definition of a No-Show:
-A “No-Show” is defined as failing to check in for your scheduled tee time without prior notice.
-Groups that arrive with fewer players than originally booked without prior notice may also be considered partial no-shows.

No-Show Fees:
-For no-shows or cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled tee time, a fee equivalent to the full green fee will be charged to the credit card on file.
-For partial no-shows, the fee will be prorated based on the number of players absent.

Weather Policy:
-In the event of course closure due to inclement weather, no-show fees will not be charged.
-If the course remains open, the no-show policy and associated fees still apply.

Late Arrivals:
-Players who arrive late may lose their tee time and be charged the no-show fee.
-If space allows, late arrivals will be accommodated at the next available tee time, but this is not guaranteed.

Communication and Enforcement

Reminders:
Paint Branch Golf Course does not have any automated reminders prior to your tee time.

Record Keeping:
A record of no-shows will be maintained. Repeat offenders may face additional actions, including suspension of booking privileges.
