What "golf cart garage" means in a listing here
Fountain of the Sun has a mix of home styles, including single-family homes, condominiums and manufactured homes. Cart space in a listing can mean an extended bay off the car garage, a separate cart door, a deep two-car garage, or simply room in a carport. Size depends on the original plan and any later remodel, so two homes on the same street can be very different.
The listings button on this page shows Fountain of the Sun homes whose listing remarks or parking features mention a golf cart. That is a keyword match, not a verified feature filter. A remark like "golf cart included" can show up even when there is no dedicated bay. The list was pulled November 7, 2026, and it will thin as homes sell. Ask Terry for the floor plan on any home that catches your eye.
Association golf cart rules
The Fountain of the Sun Association posts its governing documents and rules on its Governing Docs and Rules page. The Rules and Regulations (amended and approved by the board on June 19, 2019) say this about carts:
- Golf carts, bicycles and other motorized vehicles are bound by the same traffic rules as other vehicles (Section 3-106).
- Carts used at night need white lights in front and tail lights or red reflectors in the rear (Section 3-106).
- Only persons 16 or older, or those with a valid learner's permit accompanied by a responsible adult, may operate golf carts within Fountain of the Sun (Section 3-106).
- Golf carts not used on a regular basis are to be stored in a garage, carport or patio when space is available, and any cover is to be a fitted golf cart cover (Section 3-108).
- Golf carts and other motorized vehicles may not be parked overnight in Association parking lots (Section 2-109).
- The posted speed limit inside the community is normally 25 miles per hour unless otherwise posted (Section 2-108).
Condo owners are directed to their own condo association CC&Rs and rules on cart storage, so a condo listing can carry a second set of rules. If you plan to add or change a cart enclosure, ask the association office about approval before you start. Documents are updated over time, so read the current versions during your inspection period.
Country club cart policy is a separate question
The golf course has its own website at foscc-az.com, separate from the association site. The club describes an 18-hole executive course with rental carts, private member times, league times and open public times. Its membership page lists equity memberships that include a preference for cart rental or a trail fee for a personal golf cart, plus a season twilight pass option for players who use their own cart. I do not quote fees here; call the golf shop for current personal cart rules and pricing.
In short: association rules cover streets, parking and storage inside the community, while the club sets the rules for carts on the course.
Arizona law in general terms
A.R.S. 28-101 defines a golf cart as a motor vehicle with at least three wheels on the ground, an unladen weight under 1,800 pounds, designed to be and operated at no more than 25 miles per hour, and designed to carry no more than four people including the driver. A separate statute, A.R.S. 28-966, covers neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) and similar low-speed vehicles: a 25 mile per hour limit for NEVs, no driving on highways posted above 35 miles per hour except to cross at intersections, and a permanent notice of operating limits visible to the driver.
A golf cart and an NEV are not the same thing under state law. Before you drive a cart outside the gates, check registration, equipment and insurance requirements with the Arizona MVD. I did not find a published City of Mesa golf cart rule to cite, so I do not list one here. For more background, see street-legal golf carts in Arizona. This page is general information, not legal advice.

What to check before you buy
- Measure the cart space with your own cart in mind, including length, width and door height for a roof or windshield.
- Look for a working outlet near where the cart will charge.
- Check floor slope and whether water runs into the bay during a storm.
- Note water heaters, shelves or other equipment that take up cart length.
- Read the current association Rules and Regulations, and any condo association rules if the home is a condo.
- Call the country club about personal cart use on the course if you plan to play with your own cart.
- Confirm with the Arizona MVD what applies to your cart type before driving it on public roads.

Questions buyers ask
Do all Fountain of the Sun homes have a golf cart garage?
No. Cart space depends on the home style, the original plan and any remodel. Some homes have a dedicated bay, others rely on a deep garage or a carport. Ask Terry for the floor plan and measure in person.
Can I drive a golf cart on the streets inside Fountain of the Sun?
The association rules allow golf carts within the community and apply the same traffic rules as other vehicles. Drivers must be 16 or older, or hold a valid learner's permit with a responsible adult, and carts used at night need front and rear lights or reflectors.
Are the association and the country club the same organization?
They operate separate websites and publish separate rules. The association rules cover community streets, parking and storage. The country club sets course cart policy, including personal cart use. Check both.
Does the listings button show only homes with a measured cart garage?
No. It shows 5 homes, as of November 7, 2026, whose remarks or parking features mention a golf cart. It is a keyword match and will thin as homes sell.
Is my golf cart street legal outside the gates?
Not automatically. Arizona law defines golf carts and NEVs differently. Check with the Arizona MVD about your specific vehicle. This is not legal advice.
