Range is largely a function of the battery configuration/capacity. Find out the number of batteries and the amp-hour rating of the batteries. A back of the envelope power/energy calculation would be something like the following:
Watts=Amps*Volts
If you have eight 6-V batteries rated at 225 amp-hours, then you would have approximately 10.8 kWhs of energy. A good estimate of power usage is probably about 200 watts per mile. Could be different depending on driving habits/hills/weight on the cart, etc. Therefore you could do something like 54 miles on a full charge. Your mileage may vary ;-) Draining the batteries repeatedly will impact battery life. Ask about the batteries.

This thread is asking for our opinions on what type of electric golf card we'd recommend - I think the Columbia Par Car has the best range.
