Can infants go on golf courses?

Question

i would like to go play golf and take along my wife and baby daughter ..is it allowed?

Answer 1

Depending on the golf course, i used to play one course that would allow it anytime. i would just strap my daughters seat to the cart and away i went, others charged me an extra fee.

The private club i am at now is pretty much anything goes. my daughter is 3 now and i let her drive the cart, they never say a word.

Answer 2

They could be allowed but i must say this would be serious disrespect to other golfers. First, the baby will cry at one point unexpectedly. If you don't care, a playing partner might if it is in his backswing. Secondly, the baby is in danger out there. Balls come from everywhere, along with bees, mosquitos, and the occasional upset daddy. But if you must, go to a small course, with not so much water, because there will be less bugs. When your child can understand not to talk during a backswing, put a club in her hands, and teach her to play the greatest game on earth.

Answer 3

I was kicked off a golf course, with my baby carriage, even though it was completely screened and protected.

Answer 4

yes just keep the baby away from were you golf so the baby wont get hit enjoy have a great time!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Chances are they won't allow it....insurance concerns.

In my experience, only paying players will be allowed out, and I'd be surprised if they consider an infant as playing even if you pay the fee.  Not to mention that they also typically require that all players have a bag and some clubs.

Who knows though, perhaps you'll get lucky.

Good luck.

Answer 6

Chances are you will not be able to take them on the course while you are playing a round of golf. However, you may ask for permission to use a golf cart and ride around provided you are not disrupting play.

Answer 7

As with anything: try it and say sorry later.

In high school, I snuck a girl onto to the 12th hole where it overlooks the town and well known for its views. It's very late in the day and seemingly, we have the entire course to ourselves.

Things get hot and heavy and a horn dog marshall pulls and says that I better hurry things up since the cart boy was getting antsy.

He was very nice about it and didn't kick me off for 1. the girl not even having clubs and 2. having my hands up her shirt.
