Range is a function of the AH rating of the batteries used. The OP didn't state the AH rating of the batteries he wound up with. I am assuming he has 12V Lithium Ion batteries. There is a wide range of AHs available for 12V Lithium Ion batteries, although I suspect space can become an issue as the higher AH rated batteries are larger. I would enjoy hearing more details about the install from the OP.

As to lithium for golf carts my research led me to believe that if you wanted quality batteries with a life of up to 5 years you were going to have to spend $4,000 plus. And the best claim for distance that I could find was up to 60 miles on a single charge. It was also suggested that if lithium batteries were used one should purchase a new charge made specifically for lithium; albeit you could get by with acid based chargers. They also suggested new battery cables made to work with the lithium batteries that are hotter.
I could not find any information if golf cart lithium had the over heating problem found in many jet planes.
I purchased a gas cart after hemming and hawing for about two years
I don't detect any gas odor. I don't like the noise but I can maintain a more consistent average per mile better with gas than I could with electric.
I opine others can decide
