I don't agree with this as I'm getting tired of almost getting hit by cars passing a left turning car or cart by using the golf cart lane. It has happened no less than 4 times that I'm turning right into a clear cart lane and as soon as I pull out, a car veers into the cart lane to go around a car or cart that is turning left.
The cart lane should not be used as a passing lane. If it was meant for cars, it would be much wider.
