Is there any modifications needed to the golf cart?

The Villages is VERY wheelchair accessible. You can use the sidewalks where there are sidewalks, or the cart paths throughout The Villages. Most of the streets have dedicateed lanes for bikes and golf carts and these can be used for wheelchairs. All the buildings are handicap accessible, also. You shouldn't have any problem getting around to do whatever you need to do whether it is grocery shopping, going to the doctor, enjoying the town squares or just visiting your neighbors.
