Do the deputies have the authority to bully these folk and make them go inside their homes. It is all about private property.
Not "all about" private property. It's more a matter of local ordinances. I don't know what those ordinances are, haven't looked them up.

But you can be sure that if someone commits an actual crime on one of those golf cart paths, it absolutely positively falls under the jurisdiction of the Sheriff's office. Murders, robbery, assault, battery, theft, shooting up illegal substances, are all fair game for the police to handle if it's brought to their attention.

No idea what, if any, authority they'd have over golf carts lining up on the side of the golf cart path to watch an event for free, that others paid for the privilege of watching. But to say "it's all about private property" is inaccurate.
