Stay Steps from the Music — 3-for-2 Holiday Deal

Dance all night, stroll home safely, and wake up steps from the ocean.

Cherry Grove Golf Cart Rentals (1)

Parking in Cherry Grove can be tricky, especially during the busy summer months. Renting a golf cart makes getting around easier for families—just be sure to plan ahead for delivery timing, HOA rules, and street parking limitations. Many rentals include golf cart parking or can be prepped for delivery to your vacation home.

Featured rental partner: A-Jax Golf Cart Rentalsview rates • Call 843-421-1006

1. Local Rules You Must Know

Operating a golf cart in North Myrtle Beach (including Cherry Grove) is legal — but regulated. Use this section as your quick compliance guide so guests avoid fines and stay safe.

Where you can drive

Golf carts are only permitted on secondary roadways (posted 35 mph or less). You cannot travel along the main roads shown in red on the official city map (Ocean Blvd, 27th Ave S, Highway 17, Sea Mountain Hwy). You may cross those roads at intersections only.

Time & distance limits

Operation is sunrise to sunset only. Permitted carts may operate within 4 miles of the registration address (or 4 miles of a gated community ingress/egress) and only on secondary roads posted ≤ 35 mph. Crossing a >35 mph road is only allowed at an intersection.

Driver & documents

Drivers must be 16+ with a valid driver’s license. The operator must carry: registration certificate, proof of liability insurance, and driver’s license.

Safety & compliance

  • Golf cart must display the South Carolina permit sticker.
  • Seating capacity cannot be exceeded—everyone must have a seat.
  • All state traffic laws apply (stop signs, signals, yielding).
  • North Myrtle Beach PD enforces violations; fines typically start around $100+.

Quick checklist for renters:

  • Valid driver’s license (16+)
  • SC permit sticker displayed
  • Proof of insurance in cart
  • Stay on secondary roads (≤ 35 mph)
  • Within 4 miles of registration address
  • Sunrise to sunset only

2. Where to Rent in Cherry Grove (Featured: A-Jax)

A-Jax Golf Cart Rentals delivers directly to Cherry Grove homes, with free delivery and pickup to most locations in North Myrtle Beach and along the Carolina coast. Guests often mention that A-Jax drops the cart off before they even arrive — a big plus for smooth check-ins.

Note for guests: There’s no issue with golf carts at our vacation homes — driveways and parking are cart-friendly. However, some condo communities and HOA properties do not allow golf carts. Always confirm your property’s rules before booking a cart delivery.

Check A-Jax’s full location restrictions to see which areas allow cart delivery.
