• This is a "golf cart community" in that golf carts must be "street legal" with lights, turn signals, etc. They must be insured and tagged just like a car and are allowed on streets where the speed limit is no more than 35 mph. All streets in The Grand are 25 or 35 mph - but no higher, so golf carts may drive on all The Grand streets.
