Golf cart rules in Mount Holly
Mount Holly allows registered golf carts only on certified golf cart roads, residential streets posted 25 mph or less approved by the Police Department. Carts need a city registration ($35 a year with a first time inspection), liability insurance and a licensed driver 16 or older, and they top out at 20 mph. Without lights you can ride 7 AM to sundown, and with working headlights and taillights 7 AM to 11 PM. Some main roads are off limits, including parts of Main Street (Mount Holly code 76.04). So park your cart off Main Street and walk the last stretch, or ride a street-legal LSV on roads posted 35 mph or less. We install headlight and taillight kits so you can ride home after dark.
Golf cart decorating tips
- Use battery powered LED string lights or lights rated for your cart’s 12 volt accessory power, and zip tie them to the roof frame, not the steering column.
- Keep the driver’s view, mirrors, pedals and lights clear, and check that nothing hangs low enough to catch a wheel.
- Wreaths on the front cowl, garland along the roof and a lit sign on the back seat read great from the curb.
- Charge fully the night before. Lights, music and slow parade speeds drain lead acid batteries fast, which is one more reason owners move to a lithium golf cart battery conversion.
- Follow the parade rules on throwing candy. Most parades here ban it, so hand it out at the curb instead.
