Hey guys, I've been wondering about bringing my dog along with me when I play golf as it's literally the perfect activity to do with a dog, walking the dog on a nice wide open field with fresh grass for multiple hours.

Best advice I could give, would be to a, check with the golf course, and b, be sure to pick up after her. Nobody wants to step in dog poop on a well manicured golf course. Probably 98% of golf courses use pesticides. Biggest danger would likely be from ingestion but its hard to say for sure how harmful they could be to your pet.

No danger to the dog. This would be a dream for me. Saw a guy at the range at a club once, with his dog comfortably laying in his cart, waiting to head out for 18. No courses I play allow it but I always have thought how great it would be to bring my pup out with me. Alas...

I wouldn't be driving a golf cart with my dog on it, that's way too dangerous. My idea is having her on a leash attached to the push-cart as we walk. She'll follow the push-cart and stay with the push-cart and sit as I take my shot. I'll make sure she stays away from the green as I putt. That's my opinion of the proper dog etiquette.

Dog owners love their dogs so naturally assume everyone else loves their dog too which is far from reality. Spend time with your dog....but not at the course.
