So - does anyone have DIRECTIONS to the golf course from the Spanish Springs area? Or even from Sumter Square, since we know how to get there just fine.

I understand to go Morse Blvd, take whatever tunnels get you around the roundabouts, south south south...

But I also know to get to Kristine something, because you can't go further on Morse by golf cart and have to use Kristine to get to some bridge that goes over 44. Only one of us is going.

GPS gives live instructions, but not printable directions. I need printable directions, and they have to include the lead-up and instructions on how to get to this Kristine Way/Road bypass, and the name of the bridge that he has to go over, and everything from that point on.

Google maps using bicycle option is useless because it says to ride ON the roundabouts, which you can't do in a golf cart, and I'm not familiar enough with signage and tunnels and bypasses down there and would totally spend a lot of time being lost.
OBB, if your cart has an old style cigarette lighter, you can get an adapter (any auto parts store) that will allow you to plug in your phone to keep the battery charged. If your cart does not have one of these, I can install one as can many of the mobile golf cart service companies. I cannot imagine trying to use a paper printout while driving a golf cart.
