I'll answer the question you asked based solely on my experience. We live near Mulberry up by 42. I don't think we have put 50 on a cart in a single day, even when just going out and exploring. In fact, the longest drive we've taken is the double-bridge loop where we left our house and drove down to Rohan, crossed the Chitty Chatty bridge, went all the way down to Meggison, took that up to, and crossed the Brownwood bridge, continued north up the Buena Vista trail, made a stop along 466 and at Glenview, and then returned home. All told, that trip was 41 miles.

Once the Water Lily bridge opens, and then the Southern Oaks bridge, the opportunity to drive more than 50 miles becomes greater as it will be a heck of a hike for us to cart to the new Southern Oaks championship course, or even to cart to Red/Gray Fox, because of the cart path routing. While it is then possible for a 50+ mile trip, is that something we would do? Sure, occasionally. On a regular basis, certainly not, since there are plenty of courses to play and other amenities to use much closer to home.
