Title Detail
Caddies & Carts Caddies: Caddies are allowed; however, the Colorado Open Golf Foundation is not responsible for furnishing caddies and recommends that players bring their own. Players are not required to employ a caddie for the Championship and may carry their own bag.

Carts for Championship:  Players may ride during the Championship--the daily cart fee for the player and his or her caddie is included in the entry fee.  Players may walk and carry their own clubs; however, partial refunds are NOT awarded to players electing to walk.  Caddies ONLY may ride with players.  (NOTE:  Spectators are NOT permitted to ride with players and/or caddies.)

Disabled Participants & Spectators: 
Spectators are asked to walk; however, the Committee reserves the right to authorize use of a cart for anyone with a disability as defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Cart availability for spectators is not guaranteed and riders must provide their handicap parking permit or like written verification of their disability to be eligible to rent a cart.
