Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just as there have been Ford guys and chevy guys so too will there be Par Car guys and club car guys, etc.
Just as with the same brand car( all equipment equal) will yield different mph based on the owners driving habits, maintenance history and location etc so too will you have different ranges with electric golf carts.
I have a club car with 3 year old 6-8 v batteries and have plenty of juice to travel north and south. I live mid-way between either destinations.
I had a larger motor and discovered when I needed extra juice it was there. However going faster only place undue force on the brakes and batteries. so I replaced it with a standard motor and found I still enjoyed the ride.
I played Baseline recently and discovered after playing 18 holes I didn't much like hearing all the noise and all the jerky motions. It cured me for the time being for considering gas cart. I would rather update batteries every three or four years than do drive to a gas station to gas up and /or do the oil changes etc. that a gas cart requires.
Again its a personal choice and for each of us the only one we need to satisfy is ourselves...and of course our wife's and mine prefers an electric cart
