Right now you can buy used Electric golf carts for a very reasonable price .(approx $2500-$3500)
Folks here are under the supposition that they have to switch to gas to get to the new courses on the south end of THE VILLAGES.......This is not necessarily so , I have two electric CLUB CARS and have no problem... I live on the extreme north end and yesterday I played nine holes on Truman course on 466A...this course is very hilly with lots of ups and downs (like my golf game) followed by a jaunt through lake Sumter landing then on to the north end (Chatham)...It had to be close to thirty miles and I still had lots of juice when I rolled in .....My cart is a 2000 model and the Trojan batteries are two years old.....I fill the batteries the first of every month and charge them every time I take them out no matter how far or short the drive...They last me about four years with good power....
