Thanks for your replies to my OP. Since posting that OP I have done further digging on what information I could find. Using Golf of the Villages and the VCDD site I found the following information:

• Havana is a Championship Course and as a resident I am automatically a member of it.
• The trails on it are maintained by the amenity fees we all pay, including us non-golfers.
• There are no fees specified for those who walk on the trails. "Those who walk" was clearly specified.
• There were no specific restrictions stated or implied that prohibited walkers from using the trails. A PMV (personal mobility vehicle) scooter are the legs for those of us who cannot walk on their own, so it constitutes walking.

Regarding the comment that it was not safe because one could get hit by a golf ball, I think that's a risk anyone on a golf cart also takes and that the risk is not much higher on a PMV. Besides, I would rather risk the hit by a golf ball than being hit by a vehicle (auto or GC) on Odell Circle going to get my mail. IMO the risk on Odell is much greater than the risk on the trail.

If anyone has found any information that counters what I've found out, please let me know the website address where I can read it. Until I found proof to the contrary I have to presume that there is no reason that I cannot use the Havana to Odell shortcut to obtain my mail. I may be wrong, but what's on the two website I obtained the information does not support that I am.
