It really depends on your budget.
Universal Studios is over $100 per person, for anyone over age 9. So just getting in will cost you $300 (you have to pay too). That's for a one-day pass, and doesn't include food, which can easily cost you another $100.
That's one day. How many days will your teenage grands be here for?
There's kayaking in Lost Springs Lake, which would only be around $100 for the two kids (not including food) for a couple of hours. The rest of the activities there will still cost $89 per kid minimum, depending on which activity they want to do.
You could go on a boat tour of Lake Dora, it's a 2-hour group tour with a dedicated captain. Or you could rent a pontoon and explore with the kids for $325 for 5 hours, including a full tank of fuel. As the adult, you'd have to be the driver.
At night, the town squares for free live music is always a good bet.
Regarding letting the kids drive the golf cart: if you don't have insurance on the golf cart, you should probably not let even the older one drive it, even if he has a license. The 14-year-old isn't allowed to drive it at all, and the 17-year-old can only drive it if he has a valid drivers license.
And definitely remind them that the golf courses are not parks, they're not welcome to use them to explore. If you go with them, the executive courses might be a fun thing for them if they're into golf.
