GPS Drift on Golf Courses: Why Alerts Fire Early or Late

GPS drift is one of the most common reasons golf cart alerts feel inconsistent. On golf courses, tree cover, terrain, and signal variability can cause a cart’s reported position to shift slightly, leading alerts to fire early, late, or unpredictably. This guide explains why GPS drift happens, how it impacts cart path enforcement and restricted areas, and what courses can do to reduce false alerts and golfer frustration.
