Up to this point the posters were right in there advice, rent both, understand the advantages and disadvantages of both and make a decision based on how you will use the cart. Now Fredman has jumped in with a bias...he doesn't own or ever driven an electric cart 60 miles around TV so I need to respond as an electric owner. We have two electric carts, a decision made after renting gas carts here for the last three years. We made the decision based on range, quiet, not having to deal with the smell (you can do the breath test in the tunnels) easy charge and auto fill systems. I have driven from Brownwood to Glenview, played 18 holes, went to LSL for lunch and back to Brownwood for drinks with friends. Distance was just over 60 miles and I still had plenty left. Having said all that, I agree with the other comments that you need to find what works for you and don't listen to those that have a bias on here.....you will have to use it, more importantly pay for it so it should be what will meet your lifestyle.
