They will enjoy the time with you. You could also try getting them used to the golf cart and take them for a ride.

There are multiple dog parks that you could take them to and let them run off leash unless they are not other dog friendly.
Exactly what we did, except I would mention that I started taking my dog on leash walks every day as soon as we decided to move. I knew she would miss her yard, but she did love greeting the neighbors and adapted quickly.

Your dogs just want to be with you.
