Default distance/how long in golf car?

For someone to get an idea the scope of TV, can anyone give us an idea How Long it would take to get from Mulberry Grove to the New Brownwood area via a golf car going 25MPH?
Thanks Very Much!

Default to give you an idea

it takes us 36 minutes in a 19-20 mph golf cart (the legal limit for a golf cart is 19.9 mph, I think, and that's how fast our carts go) to get to Mulberry from just south of the Sabal Chase pool (1 mile south of LSL on Canal). We do it often, via the short cut thru Winnifred.

I have only crossed under 466A on the tunnel by the Colony Cottage sports pool - is the tunnel closer to Buena Vista open yet? I'm guessing it will take us about 25 minutes to get to Brownwood from Sabal Chase once the paths are open. The more direct route from Brownwood to Mulberry by golf cart (not as direct as by car), is probably going to be about 45-55 minutes, but that's just an educated guess.

Not sure about going 25 MPH. Unless you are street legal and driving on the public roads. On this site if you say you are doing 25 MPH on the golf cart trails, I would look out. People should be replying shortly about your speed. One thing about the villages that gets people upset is driving even a mile over the speed limit.

Ooops........SO SORRY.............We aren't "there" yet, so - Please forgive my misinformation of the speed limit!! We thought that 25Mph was the speed that all the golf cars go........Now we Know Different.
Thanks for the distance and time............it really helps a newcomer get an idea of the distance/time thing.............Really appreciate your time.

Yup - that tunnel's been open for quite a while. It's east of Buena Vista a bit, right where the new assisted living center is being built.

I live in Tamarind Grove. That is on St. Charles, below Pennecamp, Buttonwood and just above St. James. The golf courses south of 466 (Palmer, Mallory, Cane, Havana and Bonifay) I can reach them all in about 10 min to 20 min max. LSL is about 18 minutes. Going up Morse to Spanish Springs is about 30 minutes. Going up Buena Vista I normally don't go beyond Palmer, except for Golf Fest at the Polo Fields I gave it a try and it was about 30 minutes.

So normally if I'm going to any of these golf courses or LSL I use the cart, for anything else like Walmart and the other places on 466 or 27/441 I use the air conditioned car with the radio, I get bored driving in a cart more than 25 minutes. When I go to the VA Clinic at Mulberry it takes me 30 minutes in my car, I wouldn't even attempt that in my cart, it's 11 miles one way.
