Since the tragic death of a woman riding in a golf cart at the Tiburon golf course in Omaha, there has been an increased focus on the use of motorized vehicles other than cars, trucks and motorcycles in combination with consuming alcohol.

Many people think that they can drink and drive a golf cart because most golf courses are private property. In Omaha, Nebraska, that's not the case. Under Nebraska DUI Law,  it does not matter if you are on a state highway or a golf course. If you drink and drive, you can get a DUI.

Nebraska DUI penalties, as enforced in Omaha, are strict, and the process is challenging.

For that reason, and for the safety of others who are on the golf course, it is a better idea to walk the course if you are drinking.
