My question is, are you allowed to have a golf cart that can do that speed and NOT register it as "street legal" if you choose to never drive on the roadways? I certainly don't want to pay the extra 300-400 in insurance costs every year. Thanks for your responses in advance.

The law says if it is
capable of exceeding 20 MPH it must be registered and insured as a motor vehicle if driven on public roads.
There are very few instances, if any, where you can travel from home to a golf course without driving on public streets. Golf cart lanes are part of public streets.
