I Agree ADA Accessibility It is the policy of The Breakers to provide access to golfers with disabilities. If a member or guest wishes to request golf cart access to areas restricted by Club Conditions, the member or guest must first provide the Director of Golf or the Superintendent with (1) a doctors letter stating the specific restrictions of the Club Conditions for which the member or guest is requesting special access, and (2) a valid state issued department of motor vehicles handicap designation. The member or guest will be permitted golf cart access to certain areas currently restricted by the Club Conditions as determined by the Director of Golf. Access will be denied to areas where safety is a concern or where the agronomic integrity of the golf course is threatened. From time to time, the Director of Golf or Superintendent may also impose temporary restrictions as necessary for the maintenance of the golf courses, such as over-seeding, sodding or damage from heavy rain or flooding. Therefore, it is necessary that a member or guest who is requesting special golf cart access pursuant to this policy register in the pro shop where they are playing daily so that notice of any applicable restrictions can be provided. |
