Usually The Villages has a fence (black) around the perimeter of the property. Perhaps it’s just an oversight in the area that OP speaks about near the ball diamonds.

The big problem with that explanation, is all of the neighborhood entrances where there are no cart paths going across (or they go across in front of the gates)...but there's still a gate there.
Not to mention, that the gates only impede incoming traffic (thus allowing carts to scoot to the median in those areas)...not the outgoing traffic.
