My opinions are biased as I would never own a gas cart. Obviously gas will work for you, but IF you are interested in electric......

Try to figure out how you will use it. If I lived in Chatham, MY requirements would be to size a cart so that I could play Evans Prarie and make it home with plenty of charge left in case I wanted to whip over to Spanish Springs. That type of day will push a typical 6-8V configuration IMO. A big day for you may just be drive to Brownwood and back with no golf which is not such a big day.

***** - I have never done any testing in an AC cart, e.g., EZGO with 6-8V batteries, nor have I seen any real data posted here. AC driven carts are more efficient than their DC counterparts. By real data I mean I went this many miles and my ending voltage was xx.x.
