Lately I have been seeing lots of people out with their dogs playing their round of golf. I mean the dog is obediently riding in the cart with them (I recognize having the dog running around all over the place, barking, and pooping on the course is definitely not acceptable). I see mostly small dogs mostly but I have seen some large ones. I wondered what the acceptable practices are? Is it course to course whether they are allowed? Is this common? If we are playing a neighborhood course, I get the residents out walking their dog on the carts path, I am asking about someone who doesn't live on the course, brings their dog from wherever they came from and plays their round.

I saw an older gentleman a few days ago at Sterling Country Club with a boxer, props to that guy because I grew up with boxers and their endless energy and that dog just sat obediently on the cart while he took his shots.

I love dogs so as long as its doing like you said and staying in the cart and not going crazy, no issue with me. Its like anything, be respectful of others and you should be good.

And my MIL has a boxer and cant imagine that thing sitting still lol

A quiet dog is 100 times better than the guy who plays hip hop out of his Bluetooth speaker at 90 decibels. As long as it doesn't break course rules, I'm ok with it.

As long as they are well behaved and looked after, I'd take dogs on the course more often than other people.

One time I'd teed off on #1, I'm in the fairway, and I hear a tee shot. Ball comes flying 30 yards past me - I mean, past my friend's ball because I had hit mine much further, of course. Then this dog comes running from the tee box up to that ball. I start lecturing "BAD DOG! BAD DOG!" and rubbing his nose on the ball. But I really don't think he got the message, so I just sent him ahead.

Good one.

And as long as the dog doesn't leave Turds everywhere, I'm all good with it.

Problem with that though, if they let one they have to let them all and all aren't like that.

We have a ZERO tolerance policy on dogs at our club.

I love dogs but not sure why anyone would want to bring their dog with them to the golf course, but people these days feel the need to bring them everywhere now, grocery shopping, out to eat, etc.

Some dogs are cool. Some dogs suck. All of them don't need to be taken everywhere with you. You'll be okay to be without your dog for a few hours.

I'd take a dog in the side seat of the golf cart over a 40HCP who feels like they need to hit every single shot.

Sorry, I'm projecting.

Don't be jealous that they are getting to play more golf per round than you are
