Map of Golf Cart Trails
 
Is there a map you can pickup or purchase of the golf cart paths? (Yes have the app..wanted something we can look at and learn our way around..)

Link below to goldwingnut.com/village-map works even though it says forbidden.

In case not aware, In some places, residential streets can be used for short cuts or to avoid traffic/gates.

The GPS apps can help find those.

And if you have not heard, some neighbors do not like you to use them.

In case they haven't heard, the streets are public.

They should have done they due diligence when purchasing the property if a little golf cart traffic was an irritation.

The multimodal map doesn't show the tunnels - would be really nice to show the tunnels along with their designation (i.e. B1) to use this with the published tunnel heights.

A "little" golf cart traffic? Now that's funny.

Thanks everyone! I was surprised when I followed the gps app from Magnolia Plaza to Sawgrass and I took me through the new construction where the roads for cars are closed. Are we allowed to drive carts through those areas? The golf cart paths seem fine and didn't have closed signs.

From Magnolia Plaza to Sawgrass is all MMP. First west to the Waterlilly bridge, and then east along Meggison Rd to Sawgrass. I can't think of a place where you go through construction.

Wow, looks like the paid GPS app is routing through construction areas!

The barriers and no trespassing signs should be respected...

I'm not sure how you missed the barriers! If you try and go down Corbin Trail, there are concrete barriers and a wire fence across the road.

If you try and go down the MMP at the Monarch Grove entrance, there are two wooden barriers with warning signs, although some people seem to think it's ok to move one of them aside and proceed through.

Either way, you traveling through a construction zone and subject to trespassing fines.

To answer your question: yes there are maps available at sales offices. $5

If the neighbors don't like that, they can issue the golf cart drivers citations/tickets. Oh wait, it's not a crime. Awwww. Too bad, so sad :(

The golf cart paths had no barriers. But as you can see I was confused on why the app brought me that way...I dont know my way around so was depending on the app. That's part of why I would like something printed. The app must have an error in it thinking these roads are opened

...

The wire fence across Corbin was removed for several days when they put the top layer on Corbin. And removed again when they painted the center and diamond lane lines.

Ah, I see how one could miss the concrete barriers and no trespassing signs. As long as you could get around it a golf cart, it must be ok. The map said so.

Gotta love TOTV. A simple innocuous post asking about maps and people try to turn it into a debate about shortcuts through Villages.

Every thread doesn't need to be a debate.

Kinda like how theyll complain after buying into a village that abuts an existing middle/ high school complex, with lights, during band practice! No complaints....no forums. Its a feeder system! Carry on

Google maps on you home computer does a reasonable job once you learn to id the paths.

I would have to say what you are describing is an extremely rare instance. As far as avoiding traffic… Every major street has a golf cart path on the side so the cars won't get you. You are the first person I've ever heard that looked for alternative courses in pathways to avoid a gate.:oops: Those little red buttons are user-friendly.

I was thinking of doing thar once I had a printed golf cart map...the paths don't seem to complicated so comparing to Google maps I think is an excellent idea.

Some of the roads and gates have signs stating no golf carts allowed...

When you leave a gate and approach one of the main roads (ie Morse or Buena Vista), there is sign that tells you NOT to drive your cart on that road. There will always be an MMP available to enter.

The same with Meggison and Warm Springs in the southern areas.

:gc: I use several neighborhood shortcuts frequently. :wave:
