I have a Star Sirius EV with a 210 ah battery. I can get over 70 miles with 10-20% charge left. And yes, I did it once when I first bought the cart to eliminate the “wonder if” factor.
I live in the Spanish Springs area. The Star is a little tall. But I have no problem in any of the tunnels up here (they are lower than tunnels down south) and I go through them all the time.
I too have gone from Spanish Springs down to play Shallow Creek - about 24 miles for me. It’s a beautiful golf cart ride. Played a round - and by the way, on the course the amount of charge used is nil - then sight see around the area to see how it’s developing. All total 55 miles no problem.
As far as comfort, my Star seats are as comfortable as my Cadillac. No sore anything. And the fresh air ride at a relaxed pace is more fun than the car.
All electric carts are programmable. Depends on the controller - most are Curtis - for the software needed. Star comes factory set with a 24 mph limit. Plenty for me. I usually cruise 21-22.
Star has independent suspension, retractable seat belts and a back up camera, too, which is nice in the golf cart parking lot for those guys that just want to stand behind your cart when you are backing up.
Have a friend who has an Evolution with a 180 ah. It is also a nice cart, his range is a little less than mine but sufficient for him he says. The Star ride is smoother.
I would say, for an electric cart, get the biggest battery you can.
Good luck on your decision
