GULF SHORES, Ala. Changes as to who can drive a golf cart in the City of Gulf Shores now aligns the new ordinance that was approved on April 13th by the Gulf Shores City Council with driverโs license laws.
Police Chief Dan Netemeyer proposed the change due to public input, and it aligns with Alabamaโs driving laws.
Previously, only people 18 and older could operate a golf cart or LSV in designated areas.
But now, the new ordinance allows anyone who is legally allowed to drive a vehicle in Alabama may now drive a golf cart or LSV in permitted areas.
