Now remember these are car times and milage so you need to add a few more minutes and miles due to carts going 20 instead of the 35 or so on the highway. Also, cart paths are not as a direct route as the streets are. aj
Just noting that in Google map directions you can click on a bicycle icon (top of left frame) to show travel time in that mode instead of by car. I'd venture a guess that the actual travel time by golf cart may lie midway between the two figures.
The Villages Florida But then again I'm not a professional golf cart driver and can't be sure!
