Registration

All golf carts within Sherkston Shores must be registered. The maximum number of carts registered per site is two. A golf cart registration sticker will be delivered to your site to you after registration is received and processed. When you receive the registration sticker, affix it to your golf cart as proof of registration.  It should be placed at the front or rear of your golf carts in an area that is easily visible.  This sticker assists the Security Team in identifying your golf cart, as many do not have a serial number or VIN.
