mrhentzel's comments seems like very good advice. We are relatively new to The Villages. We rented a place last Feb, fell under the spell, arranged to build a home in March, closed in June and started our first snowbird season in Nov. We originally thought we would purchase a golf cart within a week or two, but here we are two months later and no golf cart. There are golf carts everywhere and everyone seems to use them, but I am beginning to wonder about their utility. They are fun and we used one when we rented in Feb, but by the end the month, we were not using the golf cart very much.
We have two cars and a golf cart garage that is filled with a workshop and bicycles. We use our bikes for travel to/from activities and short hops to the stores. Bicycle travel is every bit as rapid as a golf cart and a lot better exercise. A bike ride to Fruitland Park or Wildwood or ??? is a pleasant ride and not possible with a golf cart. I much prefer walking when playing golf. And anything else seems to warrant a car. I am beginning to wonder what I would do with a golf cart. I suspect that we will eventually purchase a golf cart, but I am leaning towards a motorcycle as the next piece of transportation.
