When we came for our lifestyle visit in 2006 I rented a gas cart from TV cart store. It was a poor experience. The cart was slow and the ride was bumpy as if the tires weren't round. I took it back and got another one, but it was only slightly better. When I turned it in I told the salesman the cart was a poor advertisement for the Yamaha gas carts. He informed me the carts that are sold to customers are much better than the rental ones. Having ridden in some with other golfers, he was right. They are much quieter, faster, and smoother than the rental I had.

I got a loaner gas cart when my electric cart was being worked on and it was better than the one in 2006, but still not as good as the ones they sell to residents.
