Golf carts enable us to enjoy the beach and socializing in our neighborhood more fully, to enjoy the open air and sounds, to keep sandy feet and bait out of our automobiles, and more.
Golf carts, particularly on the beach, have been a contentious issue. To enable us to keep the golf cart rights that we have, please follow the rules for the West End in the Galveston Golf Cart Ordinance.
3 keys to avoiding tickets when driving a golf cart:
Golf cart drivers must be licensed automobile drivers.
Golf carts may be driven across FM 3005, but can be ticketed being driven along FM 3005.
Golf cart beach access is the same as automobile access, unless a handicapped placard is displayed.
