Maybe someone can clarify this logic for me, bc I just don't get it. If I was going to any big box retailer, even Target or Walmart, I would want my full size trunk and back seat. I would also like to get there in 7 minutes vs the 20+ it would take by golf cart if that was even an option (which it usually isn't if you live south of LSL).

Sure, I like a nice scenic drive once in while on a golf cart. And the dog loves it. But for running errands, using a golf cart is an inferior experience bordering on a chore.

As they say on Reddit: CMV (change my view)
Currently I don’t go to Costco often because even though I am south of 44 it is still a 45 minute drive. So when I go , I tend to buy more per trip. With Costco in The Villages being closer I suspect my shop trips will be smaller but more frequent. Based on where we live it won’t be a golf cart trip, but still closer than Clermont.
