Tunnels for Golf carts
What is the height of the tunnels in the Villages. Understand some are lower than others. What is the lowest tunnel and what is the clearance height?

Here is a list of all tunnel heights.

Please do not get a lifted golf cart, these have a high center of gravity and can tip over easily, lifted ones tip over easier than normal ones.

Even some of the stock carts are tall enough to be a concern. We looked at two electric carts that with particularly high tops. While there *should* be enough clearance in the shorter tunnels we chose not to take the chance.

Wow, there are two tunnels at Meggison and Warm Springs that are only 70” high. Did not know that. Now I’m going to have to measure my carts. I’m wondering if that’s a typo. That’s a foot shorter than the next shortest ones, which includes the infamous tunnel near Saddlebrook rec center that tops tend to scrape.

I also have a Star Sirius….when I had the demo cart I scraped at Saddlebrook. I think if you stay close to the center and go slow it is not an issue. However, when you are riding solo pay extra attention, the cart will sway when cornering.

Center height not the number
Since it’s an arc, the critical height is one golf cart width from the center which could be an inch or two less.
