TL;DR (Answer First)

Usually no unless the property explicitly allows it. Golf cart paths are typically private property.

Quick conditions (exactly 4 rules):
– If it’s a golf course/resort, assume cart paths are restricted unless allowed.
– If a community allows bikes on cart paths, follow posted rules and speeds.
– If golfers/carts are present, yield and keep distance.
– If unsure, don’t enter—use public routes.

Quick checklist

[ ] Confirm permission
[ ] Avoid active play zones
[ ] Yield to carts and pedestrians
[ ] Keep speed low
[ ] Use public alternatives if unclear
