In order to get a Reasonable Accommodation pass for the golf course, one must first have a handicap pass issued by the state for their car.
The RA pass is issued by The Villages and is only meant for the golf courses.
You already have a state issued handicap pass, so why not use that for parking a car? It has a number printed on it that links to your driver's license. The police who (sometimes) enforce parking laws are not required to honor the Villages RA pass.
Some people fear that if they put their state issued handicap pass in the golf cart, it will be stolen. A valid fear. I have seen some people make a photocopy of their handicap pass and use that in the golf cart.
And while on the subject, please, please do not park in the striped area next to the handicapped parking. That area is needed by some people to access their car and ramp or scooter.
