Before we bought our Designer with a 2 car garage, we rented both a Patio Villa and a Courtyard Villa. And as many of the previous posts have pointed out, the dimensions of those villas would indicate that both our golf cart and car/SUV would fit. There wasn't a problem with the Patio Villas because the driveway is straight on and although it was tight, but I could fit both in the garage. The problem, I found with the Courtyard Villas, is that because the driveway is at an angle you are swinging/turning into the garage with your car. With one of the CY rentals, I could pull into the garage with the golf cart sitting tight against the side wall, but I always had to be really careful and always tried to approach as straight in the driveway as I could. The other CY rental either was too narrow or laid out differently, but I never could pull straight into the garage without the front of the car swinging into the side of the golf cart before I could straighten the car out as I entered the garage. That provided me with a lesson that when I bought my house, to had to have a regular straight driveway with a 2 car garage.

That probably isn't the answer you want to hear since you already bought your villa. But then, look around in all the other villages and you will see Courtyard Villas all over the place. And you know they probably ALL have golf carts and you don't see many cars sitting out in their driveways, so it must be done on a regular basis. Good Luck, and Welcome to The Villages !!!!!!
