Not sure if you're staying in the Village of Summerhill or Amelia -- big difference in how to get to either. If Amelia, going up O'Dell Circle and cutting through Winn-Dixie parking lot is best route to go. If Summerhill, go through the Village of Belvedere and travel south on Buena Vista.

I agree that Spanish Springs should wait until you're comfortable driving a cart or bicycling through TV from Amelia. However, if you're staying in Summerhill, it is pretty easy. (I'll skip the shortcuts.) Just ride over to Polo Ridge, go north on Buena Vista to El Camino. Go east on El Camino to Paige. Turn right on Main Street and you're there. :-)

Brownwood would be a very long ride from Summerhill (but pretty most of the way); a nice jaunt from Amelia.

Getting the golf cart map is a good idea. So is setting up your GPS for bicycle mode and going that route. Of course, you can always just meander in your golf cart; stop if you get lost and someone will help you out.
