Angie, yes it DOES get that cold at times in the winter months in TV - morning temps can be below freezing. Even with the side curtains rolled down and zipped, some people will still be cold while riding in the cart.
Yamaha doesn't sell a heater as an accessory item. The GolfCat by Coleman seems to be the most popular aftermarket one. Ace Hardware sells them locally in TV - you can go look at one there in person to see what they're like. Check stores in your locale if you're not in TV at present.
Here's a thread I started last winter on the same topic:
Golf cart heater
Obviously, the info in that thread on the deal at Meijer is now defunct. Current price there is now $82.82 plus sales tax and shipping through 08/01 - online only (not available in their stores):

Amazon has them for $78.96 with no tax and free shipping:

Ours does work great. And the suggestion to use a foam can cooler in the cart's cup holder to help secure the heater is valid - at least that's the case with our Yamaha cart. We also use a bungee cord strapped through the handle of the heater to keep it in there solid. That combination of things works perfectly! Sandy stays warm thus I'm happy.........and down the road we go!!
