It can take you a few days to learn how to get around in a golf cart. If you get lost no problem in asking for help. AAA has a free detailed Village map for members. This may only be available at the Village AAA. There is also a village map that you can buy that is not as detailed but maybe easier to us. You need a map before you try to get to a square. I would keep the car the first few days and maybe get one the last day or two if there is some place you want to go. If you have a GPS take it. The Villages is very large. I would drive around in a car the first day and then use the golf cart to get to both squares. Note you will use a combination of roads and golf cart paths and have to go through tunnels and it is not too difficult to get lost. I would plan on being home before dark.
