It is approx 35 miles ROUND TRIP by golf cart from hwy 42 north of the villages by golf cart paths all the way down to Hwy 44 near wildwood on the southernmost part of the villages. Now add in 18 holes of golf on the way down and 18 more holes of golf on the way back and you are still under 50 miles. If you spend more time and miles in a cart in one day than that, then go gas, but the answer is, YOU DO NOT NEED GAS to do everything you do in a day on this compound. Eliminate the stinky smell gas leaves in your garage and the horrible noise they make while driving and you will appreciate Electric.
What kind of cart do you have? Have you had any customization done to it?
