Default Re: Golf Car

Lots of options out there. Went through the same thing. Biggest decision is electric or gas. Electric is clean, quiet and convenient. Just plug it in to recharge. Limitation is battery life. We rented before buying and had a house on Augustine near Spanish Springs with an electric cart. Played golf at Mallory, toured south end villages, had dinner at Lake Sumter Landing and had an adventure just barely getting back to Augustine Dr. Gas carts are noisy but you get great range. We opted for gas as the Villages keep getting bigger and we take the cart everywhere with fuel to spare.

There are great deals if you shop. You've got to be quick when a good used cart deal pops up. Make sure tires are in compliance with golf course regs. We settled on a new Yamaha from Village Cart. I little more than others but, generally fair. Our experience has been that sometimes they can be very busy and forget the valued customer thing when servicing. They get a little cavalier and act as though they're doing you a favor and don't need your business because they have so much, but, whenever I had a problem, my sales agent usually found a way to get it solved. Generally satisfied with them.

Good luck.
