With a 160ah, playing Bonifay, Belle Glade, or Evans Prairie would take the battery below 10% - at which point the cart drops to less than 10mph (limp mode). I would not be able to take my cart to Southern Oaks or Shallow Creek and play 18.

The 160ah will get you range in the mid 50's. The 205ah takes you to low 70's. Much more comfortable with that.

In summary, if you live in the middle of The Villages then the 160ah will get you anywhere you need to go. If you live in either extreme end you need the 205ah.
The trip to the southern courses looks like it would take you close to two hours by cart. Do you actually do that?

I don't have that range but I live in the middle where I don't (yet) need it. At the same time, I'm not sure I would choose the cart for a 20+ mile, 2 hour trip each way.
