| Question: | "We are in the process of adding more paved cart paths to our golf course and the superintendent at our course insists on building the paths to a minimum width of eight feet. We feel the wide paths will be too costly and will adversely impact play and the look of our golf course. What width do you recommend for cart paths?" |

| Source of Question: | Maine |

| Answer/Response: | "A width of eight feet is preferred for cart paths, and wider widths are recommended adjacent to some tees and greens where carts may be parked. The eight-foot width will make the paths more durable and enable the staff to move maintenance equipment over the golf course more easily. Work with your superintendent and a golf course architect to design and locate the cart paths where they will have the least impact on play and appearance. Spending additional money up front for wider paths and effective design is your best bet for success." |
