Saskatchewan municipalities will now be able to allow golf carts to be used on public roads for more than just getting to and from the course. 

SGI has updated a policy that will allow people to drive golf carts on certain municipal roads if their municipality passes a by-law, subject to certain limitations and SGI approval. 

Previously, if municipalities passed a by-law allowing it, golf carts were only permitted for transportation to and from the golf course, with drivers using the most direct route.
