The original comment was about a solar panel at your house tied into a battery (to save the power) that could be used to recharge your golf cart (when you bring it home). What you are presumably referring to is a solar panel on the roof of your golf cart? If so, the numbers don't change as you can fit a 200 watt panel (perhaps a bit larger) on your roof. The average amount of power you will get from a 200 watt panel is about 800 watt-hours per day if the cart is outside all day. This is enough power for approximately 4-6 miles of travel. If that is the extent of your travels and the cart is outside all day (and in the sun, not under a tree) then the answer is yes. If you travel more than that you will need to plug in or your battery pack will slowly drain. Keep in mind that 800 watt-hours costs 10 cents from SECO.
