Be aware that there are some businesses on the other side of the road from The Villages that are not accessible via a golf cart; they look close but you can't get there.

There are sidewalks or multi-modal paths (MMP) that can be used to walk everywhere in The Villages. The only issue might be distance - The Villages is something like 12 miles north to south.

There is at least one hotel that is golf cart accessible; there might be more but we haven't looked into that.
We live in Villa Valdosta in Belle Aire village. It is almost 3 miles to the top of The Villages from our house. My daughter bought a home in Monarch Grove and it is 17 miles south of us. That makes The Villages more like 20 miles in distance north to south (and headed to the Village of Orlando???? HA HA)
