It really all depends. If I'm bicycling uphill, I'm not going to pull over and let a cart pass until I get to the top of the hill. Starting in the middle of a hill from a complete stop on a bicycle is very difficult to do.
I pull as far to the right as I can, and slow down if it's practical to do so, so that they can pass me. But there's no reason for me to stop for every golf cart that wants to pass (which would typically be every golf cart coming up behind me).
If it's not practical to let them pass me, I'll speed up and go as fast as I can, so as to minimize their need to slow down.
