Golf cart is a great way to get around in the Villages and there is a good web site you can download called Villages GPS which shows you how to get where you want by cr or by golf cart.
I am an inveterate walker and I find the Villages to be the least walker-friendly place I have been. The sidewalks end well before intersections. You are then left with a choice of dashing across the car traffic or going down the intermodal path and crossing, often through a tunnel, with the golf carts. Personally, I find dodging car traffic to be safer. The only fatal traffic accident that I am aware of in the Villages was a woman walking on the intermodal who was run down by a golf cart.
