It depends where you live and how near you are to your destination, and also how tolerant you are of the heat and noise while driving a golf cart. The Villages is a very big place. If you want to go to a far-away restaurant like Nancy Lopez or Paisano, you can either spend an hour or more driving your golf cart, or 20-30 minutes in air conditioned comfort in your car.

Spouse and I have one car and one golf cart. Excluding the out-of-state annual drive to see our kids, we put about 10,000 miles on the car. We find having these 2 vehicles is very adequate for our needs. It means sometimes one of us has to get a ride from a friend when we golf.
We own 1 car and drive less than 10000 miles a year. Some friends don’t own a car only golf cart but rent cars for trips outside or back north.
