Private Cart Registration Procedures1. As in years past, please go to Member Services to register

your private golf cart. Upon paying for your private cart, Member Services will give you a receipt and your Photo ID Membership Card.

2. You will then be required to bring your private golf cart registration receipt and your golf cart to any of Bella Vista’s Pro Shops during the months of January and February. Feel free to coordinate this visit with your next round of golf.

3. The Facility Supervisor, or his/her designee in their absence, at the Pro Shop will adhere a numbered cart decal to the front left corner of your windshield. This decal number will subsequently get linked to your account in our system.
