I use my golf cart most of the time, for almost all transportation needs. I even sometimes use it in the rain.

However - if you're doin a lifestyle visit, I don't believe those carts come with a sunbrella (basically a zip-up enclosure for the golf cart, with plastic windows). Even if they do - if it's pouring outside, you'll likely get soaked anyway; the rain comes through the vents in the top and bottom of the fold-down front windshield. It's also not practical when it's raining hard, on a super hot day. There's no AC in those things and if you can't open up the sunbrella because of the rain, you'll likely be melting by the time you get to your destination.

What I would suggest - despite those caveats - is to make sure that your golf cart DOES have a sunbrella. And bring a big ziplock bag with a couple of bath towels in it. Then you can "rough it" like a native!
