GOLF CARTS

1. Make sure the brake is locked before putting the key in.
2. Turn the key to the “F” (forward) position. The “R” (reverse) position is to go backwards and will make a loud beeping noise. You will not hear the golf carts engine come on as most golf carts are quiet.
3. Slowly press down on the accelerator. It is important to press the accelerator slowly because golf carts start out at their full acceleration. After slowly pressing on the accelerator you will hear the break release and then you can gradually increase your speed.
4. Drive with caution and remember that our max speed is 5MPH.
5. To stop the golf cart, gradually press down on the brake until you hear it lock in place. It is critical that the brake is locked in place otherwise the golf cart will not remain parked.
6. Take the key out when you are not operating the golf cart.
7. Golf carts should be charged each day. Simply plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
8. Some golf carts also require a second cord to be plugged into the charger and then into the cart charging port.

HOT TUBS

1. Hot tubs will be delivered empty and filled on location by our staff by 7pm. Hot tubs will be emptied and picked up at or after 11am, unless the guest has already checked out.
2. Hot tubs will only heat up approximately 1 degree per hour. When heating, the indicator light on the settings cluster will be illuminated. The jets and the heater will not run at the same time. Adding water from the hydrant will cool the hot tub down so guests should not splash water out or overflow the hot tub with too many people.
3. Please keep the hot tub covered when not in use to help it to maintain its set temperature and to keep it clean.
4. Guests should rinse off before using the hot tub and only wear a swim suit.
5. Hot tubs have a maximum temperature of 104 degrees and should not be used by people with open sores, high blood pressure, diabetes, or other concerning medical risks without consulting their doctor first. Children and women who are pregnant should not use the hot tub.
