Yes, please find an official source for accurate information.

From Florida Statute 316.2122 Operation of a low-speed vehicle or mini truck on certain roadways:
(1) A low-speed vehicle or mini truck may be operated only on streets where the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less. This does not prohibit a low-speed vehicle or mini truck from crossing a road or street at an intersection where the road or street has a posted speed limit of more than 35 miles per hour.
and
(5) A county or municipality may prohibit the operation of low-speed vehicles or mini trucks on any road under its jurisdiction if the governing body of the county or municipality determines that such prohibition is necessary in the interest of safety.
(6) The Department of Transportation may prohibit the operation of low-speed vehicles or mini trucks on any road under its jurisdiction if it determines that such prohibition is necessary in the interest of safety.
Which says the LSV *can* cross any major roadway unless the county, municipality, or DoT has specifically prohibited it.

I also do not believe a vehicle designed for use on a golf course (size, weight, tires) would be prohibited from being used on a golf course due only to its possible top speed.
