Local governments in Utah currently have authority to regulate when golf courses can mow or maintain their grounds through city and county noise or nuisance ordinances. This bill would remove that authority for most golf courses by prohibiting cities and counties from enacting or enforcing ordinances that ban golf course maintenance activities—such as mowing and trimming—between 5:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Cities and counties would retain the ability to restrict maintenance hours only for golf courses that they themselves own. The rule would apply to both privately owned golf courses and those owned by other government entities located within a city's boundaries or a county's unincorporated areas.
