Google maps shows a Clifford Ct to Lake Sumter time of 29 minutes which is close to what you experienced. And, as I mentioned above, looking closely at the route shows it is following the MMP.

I have no idea why the Villages GPS is giving you odd readings. It is working for me in my house right now but I don't know how to set a different starting point to compare my app to what you are seeing.
Because you can't legally cross 466 in a golf cart. The Google Maps bike directions from Clifford Ct, Fruitland Park, to Lake Sumter, has the bicycle crossing 466.
