What would a Golf Cart Pass do? The only way a golf cart pass would make any sense is if there were golf-cart-only gates that led out of the Villages to surrounding neighborhoods. The only one I am aware of currently is up in the historic section.
That gate in the historic section works with the same card that opens all the vehicle gates. In other threads you can find someone to clone one of those cards for about $30. If more golf cart gates were added using the same cards then it is highly likely the clones would pull in far more money than official Villages passes.
On the other hand, if a separate pass system was created for just the golf cart gates then there would be a need to carry two cards, one for the external gates and one for the internal gates. This would cause confusion since the cards would likely look the same. Plus, there is little to keep someone from cloning and selling the second set of cards as well and again, not much income for the Villages.
What would be the appeal to allowing neighboring golf carts into the Villages anyway? The fun of exploring the MMPs? The convenience of golf carting rather than driving? More available parking? Easier access to pools and rec centers? All of these are part of what I believe I am paying for with my amenity fee. Why would the residents, the CDD, or the developer want to allow non-Villagers access to what I have to pay for? Sure, just because they can get their golf cart to a pool doesn't mean they are allowed to use the pool, but there would be some number who would try it until they got caught (if ever).
