when scoping out a golf course, how can you know if its paved or not? are country clubs typically paved? i tried the satellite on google maps and the clubs webpage. i just really wanna hit up this place at night and dont wanna get there to find gravel paths

Assuming it's a somewhat local golf course, it's worth taking a ride over there if you can't tell by the satellite photos. The roads are going to be pretty narrow since they're built generally for golf carts and walking I would assume.

GOLF COURSES ROCK!!!

Seriously, just go out there. It's worth the risk of being gravel for the high chance that it's paved. I've never seen a fully gravel golf course, all the ones I've been on (4 or 5 in 2 states) have been paved and one of them had a small gravel path in one spot. Golf courses kick major ass too, nothing more fun than standup drifting tiny corners with a lot of nice soft grass all around to fall into...

All golf corses need to be scouted first.
Many have wooden bridges etc, but tend to be paved otherwise.

It is a perfect chance for a full moon midnite run, bring cameras and enjoy!!

There's a golf course near my house, and the back 9 cart path is an AMAZING run. It's super fast, a little turny, perfectly paved, and you never have to push once. However, I hardly ever ever ever get to skate anywhere on that golf course because the minute I do, someone who works on the course or in the pro shop comes out on a golf cart and yells at me, and occasionally tries to take my board, even during the winter months or late in the evening when no one is there.

It'll probably be paved, but you better watch out for those cranky old board-snatching khaki-pants-ed bulldogs. They are EVIL.

ive never seen a golf course without paved cart paths and ive golfed for almost for 8 years.

The golf courses designed for pure golf don't have cart paths, as they're meant to be walked, the way the game was meant to be played (golf fiend here). But your local municipal course or club usually has nice paths.

my parents live next to a golf course and i always wanted to ride the hell outta it. I just think theres gunna be too many people there to get away with it.

Yeah getting away with riding golf courses is tough. There's one by my school and we managed to sesh a little corner because it's right out of the line of vision of the golfers. It's a huge course though and we didn't even get to the fun stuff. What time to most golfers leave the course? And too bad golf courses aren't lit.

Ive snuck onto a couple golf courses. They are a blast, however it is definately a night time adventure. No way you can get away with cruising around in the day for to long. Country club snobs + longboards = disasters

Lazy Americans!

I've been playing golf for 4 years and I've never seen a paved golf cart road. Not even a golf cart road with gravel. But I wish that I would have seen one. Session on a golf course seems awesome

Here is a fun looking one just south of San Jose, CA. Each time I drive by I want to ride it. Looks great for a fun night time roll.

Google Maps

the one i wanna do has a path winding down from the back nine towards the front of the course. All downhill, from what i hear its worth scoping out for sure

If they kick you out, just go jump the fence at the dump and take a run there. Look south east in Google Earth.

There's one still being built near me and I've only ridden it twice. Corners are so fun, some pretty long runs too. Be careful with what sections you ride, some can be super sandy.

Considering the golfing demographic these days, Im suprised that The havnt installed a chair rail system like the chair lifts in ski resorts.
