The Ocala National Forest ls the second largest nationally protected forest in the U.S. State of Florida. It covers 607 square miles (1,570 km2) of Central Florida.
So, the non-golfers who only drive Golf Cars for transportation and hence can not go to the Ocala National Forest, not a park as such, are left out..

Last cruise we were on, in Dominca non-golfers paid a fee to go around with their golfing spouses. Talked to the golfers I knew, they said same deal all over CONUS.
