I would strongly advise to rent a cart for at least a couple of days. We almost made a terrible mistake when we bought in 2022. We were almost about to put an offer on a pre-owned home but then decided to take a golf cart from Brownwood area to check the distance. Based on the car ride we thought it would be like a 15 min cart ride but was over 30 mins. That was a dealbreaker for us, but we never would've known that if we didn't spend an hour doing that cart ride. The subsequent home that we ended up purchasing we felt good about as it passed our golf cart test with flying colors. 9 mins to Brownwood and was about the same price as the other place.
