I certainly miss calling out "Nurse!!!" as I saw the cart approaching. But, with my own cart with built in cooler, I don't feel the need for the beverage cart.

Ronat1, thanks so much for getting down to the facts.

As I said, I am a new novice golfer, having never played before TV. I was just curious because our visitors were asking. They were used to having that option.

We carts only don't need to slow down play on our busy courses.

for the last 10 years, thread after thread after thread contained hundreds of posts complaining about slow play in The Villages. methinks a food/beverage cart would not be a welcome addition
but I can understand why some would welcome the addition of a food/beverage cart.

And as one poster aptly stated that's what your cart cooler is for.

As a single, I once was paired with three guys at Glenview. The guy I rode with downed better than a six pack during play. In case you missed it alcoholic beverages are not allowed on the courses.

I guess I did miss it, where does it state that alcoholic beverages are not allowed on the courses?

The starter shacks may not like this, but perhaps the Championship course starter shacks could put a small sign above the window letting golfers know their are snacks and drinks available. "Snacks/Refreshments" Not quite hot dogs and beer. Sure some see the snacks behind the counters when they get there, but I would bet many don't know. Of course it would increase revenue for the develop and provide some refreshments for golfers if they were aware.

As for Executive courses that take a little more than an hour and a half to play, how hungry can you get? Those who have sugar issues are packing snacks, but many of us do "nine and dine", especially if we play in an established group. The lunch afterwards is half the fun for many of us. The water from the ambassadors and the cold water stations on the course are good and important especially in the hot weather and we usually take pop in our cooler too.

I love the idea of snack carts and would be happy to support them!

I bring my own thermal Bubba Cup and refill with the ice water that is offered on the Ambassador's cart. I also usually bring a protein bar if I'm golfing at a time when I think I'll need something to eat. Today I forgot my protein bar so I asked at the Starter Shack for something "healthy." The ONLY thing available was a 1st Tee or 10th Tee bar. When reading the nutrition information I was shocked - 46 grams of carbohydrates and 19 grams of sugar. "HEALTHY" - I don't think so, but it was the closest thing to a protein bar available so I bought one. I wish the country clubs would carry a healthier choice of snacks.

I suspect very little revenue. Most of the players I play with have their own beer (some stronger stuff too) and everything from fruit to sandwiches in their coolers.

Most of the other villager golfers not supplying their own beer would be waiting for happy hour.
