Community Safety Reminders

Our community has grown significantly in the past few years. We live here and we love it. Some of us have lived here for many years and witnessed the growth, and others are new to our beautiful community. Either way, we all want our families and friends to live safely and in harmony with each other. The following rules and regulations are in place to do just that.

Golf Carts: SC State law requires golf cart operators to have a valid driver license IN THEIR POSSESSION, and be at least 16-years-old. Operators must follow the rules of the road when operating the vehicle.

  • Parents, DO NOT ALLOW UNDERAGE CHILDREN TO DRIVE A GOLF CART in DeBordieu Colony. This is illegal, even if the child is accompanied by a parent or adult. Reports of underage drivers may be made to the Gate (843.546.8520).
  • DeBordieu Security Officers are tasked with enforcement of underage drivers. Anyone who appears to be 16 years or younger may be stopped and asked to produce a valid driver’s license. Citations may be issued if there is a violation.
  • Operation of golf carts is limited to Daylight Hours Only, even if the cart is equipped with lights.
  • Keep hands and feet inside the cart and no more occupants than the number of seats.

  • Bicycles and Golf Carts traveling on roads have the same responsibilities as any other vehicle driver. Bicycles may not be ridden after dark.
