With all the golf cart traffice and vehicle traffic, this can be a dangerous intersection. As the OP states, a lot of the time the carts will just merge left into traffic without paying attention to what is behind them. Also, if the northbound gates are up, this makes it difficult to cross to the MMP.
Here is my idea. I believe on the west side of Morse at this location is a golf course and on the east side a preserve. What if we took a little land for each of these location to build a oneway bridge across Morse Blvd? Thoughs?

The bridge is not needed at all. The cart drivers should have enough smarts to look carefully to see when they can merge into the left turn lane. I cannot remember car/cart collisions at that point.
There have been accidents up on Morse because a cart driver turned in front of an oncoming car - and at least one fatality.
Like the OP says, cart drivers MUST NOT turn left from the right hand cart lane.
