Abstract: A golf cart control and monitoring system, includes a signal transmitter, at least one antenna, a receiving and processing apparatus, and an event log device. The signal transmitter transmits a plurality of electromagnetic digitally modulated signals. The receiving and processing apparatus receives the electromagnetic signals radiating from each antenna and processes the signals to determine the position of the cart with respect to each antenna and correspondingly with respect to the prespecified feature. A control signal is outputted therefrom representative of the location of the cart. The event log device is responsive to the control signals and generates historical log of how long and how many times the golf cart is located within course restricted areas. In another embodiment, digital signals are radiated from antennas proximate designated start areas, designated stop areas and designated intermediate cart travel positions to track time of play and to provide displays of same to a cart operator.
