Driving to Brownwood or Lake Sumter is nothing.
South of 44 is going pretty far south at this point. It depends on where south of 44 you are referring to. Driving along the Turnpike at 75 MPH, we can drive for at least 5 minutes and still see The Villages construction. That is a lot of miles to travel in a golf cart.
