Abstract

A golf cart control and monitoring system on a golf course including a plurality of sensors arranged along a golf cart path at locations corresponding to at least a teeing ground, a fairway, and a putting green of each hole of the golf course in which each of the sensors includes a sensor ID transmitting apparatus. Each of a plurality of golf carts traveling on the golf cart path includes a golf cart ID transmitting apparatus configured to maintain communication between the sensors and the golf carts. Also included is a golf cart control station having a golf cart location device configured to determine locations of the golf carts traveling on the golf cart path. The golf cart location device includes a radio transmitter/receiver configured to receive information on the golf cart IDs and a current location of the golf carts in the golf course from the sensors and the golf carts. The location device also includes a signal processing unit configured to process information on the golf cart IDs and the current location of the golf carts and to provide a table including location information corresponding to the current location of each golf cart on the teeing ground, the fairway and the putting green of each hole of the entire gold course. The location information is displayed in a sequentially straight line or a bar graph. A display indicates a progress of the golf carts on the table as the golf carts travel around the golf course.
