Handicap Flag Policy

A Handicap Flag on a golf cart signifies that the driver of said cart has a disability that makes walking to their ball a hardship. To qualify for a Handicap Flag the individual must possess a state approved permanent handicap license plate and be approved by the Board. All golfers with a disability who wish to use a Handicap Flag must register with the pro shop. The following procedures must be followed when using a Handicap Flag:

  • A Handicap Flag applies only to the individual(s) with the disability.
  • An able-bodied golfer riding with a disabled golfer may not take advantage of the Handicap Flag policy and must walk to his or her ball.
  • If more than one disabled person is in the group, they must ride together.
  • The 90-degree rule applies.
  • Carts must remain on paths at all tee boxes.
  • Parking carts on the slopes/surrounds of any green or tee box is prohibited.
  • When conditions warrant and the course has been designated Cart Path Only, ALL golfers, including those with Handicap Flags, must adhere to cart path only restrictions.
  • Handicap Flags must be checked out/in at the Pro Shop with each round played.
  • Misuse or failure to follow policy may result in revocation of privilege.
  • All applicants must attend policy training with the Pro before use.

The Kimbeland Board reserves the right to amend and/or cancel the Handicap Flag Program. This action will only be taken if deleterious or abuse of the program were determined. It is the intention of the Board to benefit our members when necessary.
