There is no way that Trailwinds will be golf cart accessible since The Villages developer has nothing to do with it.

I don't know about that location, but on 441/27 south of there across from the Columbia Parcar Shop is where this business wants to move. Here is a news story from last June 20th in The Villages online news:

Big crowd shows up to hear proposal for indoor gun range

BY META MINTON JUNE 20, 2016

A big crowd showed up Monday night for a conceptual presentation of a proposed indoor gun range on U.S. Hwy. 27/441.

The facility would be built on a 12-acre parcel located just north of the Lady Lake Realty Site, north of Griffin View Drive and east of U.S. Hwy. 27/441, near the Orange Barn. The 24,150-square-foot building would include a 20-lane tactical and bull’s eye indoor gun range. It would also include a gun shop and educational area.

Basics Range and Gun LLC would operate the gun range and has the property under contract. The company already operates a gun range in Orange Park...

THE VILLAGES

- For the third year in a row, The Villages is the fastest growing community in the United States.
- The Villages is made up of affluent, conservative, and active retirees. There are also several towns in the area we would serve easily by building on 441.
- The Villages currently has a shooting club with 2,000 members but no place to shoot. They currently have to travel to enjoy a shooting range.
- We have very limited competition.
- We have an excellent location approximately one third mile south of 466 (major corridor to the villages) on 441.
Our current range is growing and prospering. Our wholesome, family-oriented business plan fits here and will fit in The Villages. We built our range and we developed and built the buildings in which the range is situated. Our prices are much lower than our competition because we saved money building it ourselves (we are contractors) and can pass that savings back to our members. We are only one of two ranges in the state, that we know of, which manufacture their own ammunition and our only goal was to beat big box stores regular ammo prices.
We allow our law enforcement agencies to use our range at cost and some agencies for free. We also teach women and children for free and we do many other things at no cost or limited cost which we feel benefits our community...we help.
Our business plans worked here and will work on a greater scale at The Villages.
