This document includes important information regarding 2024 Golf Cart Permits for Eldora Speedway, Inc. (“Eldora”):

The Eldora Golf Cart Permit (“Golf Cart Permit”) remains the property of Eldora and is a privilege that can be revoked without cause. Guests shall apply for the Golf Cart Permit by completing the proper paperwork and submitting proof of insurance, at which time you will be considered for approval. Please read the following requirements for consideration of a Golf Cart Permit:

ELIGIBILITY: An advanced ticket or camping order, business contract or approved entry application must be on file with Eldora to be issued a Golf Cart Permit. The insured listed on the proof of insurance for the golf cart should match that of the Individual and/or Company name on the application. Only golf carts will be permitted on Eldora property and all golf carts will require a Golf Cart Permit.  Eldora requires the make, model and serial number for the equipment to be permitted.

Golf Cart Permits are valid through the final event of 2024, the final day of your insurance coverage – until proof of coverage through November 2024 is provided – or if suspended by Eldora or the Darke County Sheriff Patrol (whichever comes first).

INSURANCE: You must have proof of insurance for your golf cart.  Insurance is readily available through the same companies who provide your automobile and homeowner’s coverage.  In fact, you may already have it on your existing policy – check with your agent – comprehensive coverage is available for individually-owned and operated carts, including: commercial general liability; collision damage liability; bodily injury and property damage liability; and accessory coverage.  Golf carts owned and/or operated by businesses have access to commercial general liability; worker’s compensation and employer’s liability.

If completing the Golf Cart Permit online, you must upload a copy of proof of insurance and a photo ID at the time of submission. Golf Cart Permits (with proof of insurance and photo ID) can also be submitted via USPS or courier or by fax.

***PHOTO I.D. REQUIRED – NAME & SIGNATURE MUST MATCH APPLICATION***

COST: The advanced price for a 2024 Golf Cart Permit is $25 per golf cart ($3 handling fee charged for credit card orders).  This fee is non-negotiable and payable to Eldora Speedway, Inc., upon approval of the application.  Credit Card information and signature required for charge authorization. Golf Cart Permits are not issued until payment is made in full.

PICKUP & PLACEMENT:  Pre-paid Golf Cart Permits are available for pickup, beginning the first day that campgrounds are officially open for parking, at the camper registration.   Golf Cart Permits will NOT be mailed.  Additional Golf Cart Permits may be applied for and purchased.  For security purposes, ALL Golf Cart Permits must be affixed as directed on the left side of the cowl or windshield (steering column is NOT permitted).  All credentials are tamper evident and cannot be transferred.
