There, the automobile right-turn lane is closest to the curb, and the golf cart lane is to the left of the auto lane (so carts can continue straight). At this (unusual) right turn for carts, is the cart supposed to get over into the automobile right-turn lane to make its right turn? Otherwise the cart would have to cut to the right in front of cars in their right-turn lane.

I've always pulled the cart into the auto lane for my right turn (after checking in advance that all is clear to merge right), but I keep expecting some crabby car driver to yell at me about it.
I move into the right turn lane to make the right hand turn. I would stay in the golf cart lane if I wanted to go straight. That is the safest scenario.
