If you live in the Villages your view point is skewed because there are so many Yamaha gas carts here. You have to consider that there is a Yamaha dealership named The Villages Golf Carts and they have three locations.
Club Car is the number one selling brand nationwide by a wide margin. That includes golf cart fleets and personal use carts. I don't have the breakdown. People who own or manage golf courses buy them because they are the most efficient dependable and least expensive to operate of all the electric carts.
People in The Villages buy a lot of Yamaha Gas carts because they promoted very well here. Many Villagers feel that they need a gas cart to get the rage that the need.
Like I said, I believe that Yamaha makes the best gas cart so if you want gas, that's the way to go.
Golf courses have moved away from gas cart over the past thirty years, not only because of the sound and smell, but also because Club Car came up with the 48 volt system that gives them up to three rounds per charge and the lower maintenance and operating costs of electric carts versus gas.
Like I say, this is very important when operating a fleet of carts and maybe less so when owning one or two carts for personal use.
