What is the regulations regarding golf cart usage in Surfside Beach? I am moving to Surfside Beach Club and was curious if I can use a golf cart to and fro from the beach?
I am not sure of the exact regulations, however, I vacation there and the golf carts are driven all over the place (except 17). Many people drive them to the beach and park at the public access entrance. Also, I saw a lot of people driving them to the grocery stores and other shopping areas.
I do not know what the specific ordinances are within the town limits of Surfside regarding golf carts but below is the state law governing golf carts. You need a permit from DMV and have to prove you have insurance. An incorporated town may restrict them, I know that the Town of Pawleys Island has banned golf carts.
SECTION 56-3-115. Golf carts; permit to operate on highways and streets.
The owner of a vehicle commonly known as a golf cart, if he has a valid driver's license, may obtain a permit from the Department of Motor Vehicles upon the payment of a fee of five dollars and proof of financial responsibility which permits his agent, employees, or him to:
(1) operate the golf cart on a secondary highway or street within two miles of his residence or place of business during daylight hours only; and
(2) cross a primary highway or street while traveling along a secondary highway or street within two miles of his residence or place of business during daylight hours only.
