Hi, for what it is worth, beautiful hotel and right by the square. You made a great choice. Yes, the hotel has security but know that they must make rounds so the parking lot isn’t always watched other than cameras. And cameras only help after.
During the day your cart is fine if you take your keys. It may be fine in the hotel parking lot, but I think your idea of a steering wheel lock is a smart idea over night.

Whoever you rent from should have golf cart insurance. I do on mine. It covers the drivers and damage and theft. I would also make sure you can park a cart at the hotel, according to that post someone said you can't. I know you can at the Waterfront inn. Can't understand why you couldn't park especially for the restaurant Wolf gang Puck.

Rental carts do not have insurance. Check with your insurance provider but I think you will find they will not cover you either. It is like when you go on vacation and rent jet skis. At your own risk as they say.

Been here 14 yrs never a problem. But as the previous comment said you will be in a newer more remote area and there a little more accessible . Check with rental company for insurance . Should be cheap to insure .
There is no insurance on rental carts available from the rental cart companies.

Something like the club that goes through the steering wheel and the frame of the cart? Thanks, any advice is greatly appreciated.
get some liability insurance

Just a guess (I have no proof), but it might be smarter to rent an electric golf cart rather than gas. I suspect that most carts that are stolen are gas, since they are more valuable to strip for parts or to sell whole to an unsuspecting customer. If I were a cart thief, I'd be looking for a Yamaha gas model around here. They are the biggest sellers.
