Local tips

• SC golf carts need a registration decal, daylight use only, within 4 miles of the registered address — confirm your rental's route with your host.

Summaries of publicly posted municipal ordinances. Guidance only — you are responsible for following current local law. Verify with the town office before riding on public roads.
