No. My drive belt, which is still in spec, has 30K miles on it and is 8 years old. The original belt was replaced because of unsmooth startups. My starter/generator belt is 10 years old with 37K miles on it. I inspect it regularly and it is fine.

Both are considered maintenance items (like tires and oil), and are expected to be replaced periodically. But, you should be able to get around 1,800 miles/120 hours out of the drive belt...perhaps twice that for the starter/generator belt...under normal use. Since your cart is still new, I would take it to the dealer for inspection. They may do you a solid and replace the belt, even though belts are generally not warranty items.
