I believe walking the golf courses "at dusk" or at any time, other than as an active player, is a no-no.
I find walking the multi modal paths (sharing with golf carts, bicyclists, etc.) is less than desirable. On the other hand, walking on the streets facing the traffic is not a problem. I have had very few occasions where a cart driver or biker has "shown an attitude". Just return their courtesy with a wave. If you see a situation where oncoming auto traffic will make it dangerous for the cart to get around you, just step up on the curb.
This is only a problem in the areas (north of CR466?) where there are no side walks
BTW, many times I have seen oncoming autos see a problem and slow down so the cart can get safely around the walker.
