Husband and Wife Golf carts?
 
My wife and I are moving to the Villages next June. We thought it would be best to have our own individual golf carts but now we are wondering if that is necessary. We would really appreciate input from couples to help us decide. Thank you, we are looking forward to joining you in The Villages.

Depends if you think you will do most of your activities together or separate. We each have our own...

We share one car and one cart and we both play golf. I would say if your wife golfs several times a week there may be some conflict but she could always hitch a ride with whoever she is playing with or you could do the same on the days of the conflict. Even when I was playing 3 days a week it still worked for us to just have one cart. I'd say give it a try first you could always buy another cart later on if you need one.

We have two carts because we play lots of golf in different groups. I agree with prior poster that I would start with one cart and see how it works out. Adding a second cart is easy.

I would start with one. If you are going to get two think if both are going to be gas or electric? I think I would start with an electric and if a second is needed then you could go to gas if the electric range is too short.

We started with one cart and two cars and then quickly realized we only needed one car and two carts! Start with one and then be prepared to get her the color she wants😉

Thank you all for sharing your experience and suggestions.

Totally agree. You need to drive one golf cart for a while. Figure out your needs and change if necessary. One can always buy another golf cart. Since moving to TV, my mind has changed on several things that I preconceived needed to happen or that we needed to purchase. Living here gives clarity to your wants and needs.

We just moved here. We have 1 car and 2 carts. We bought a house that came with an electric golf cart. We bought a new Yamaha gas cart. We've put 300 miles on the new cart in 2 weeks. We are having so much fun exploring! I like having the 2 carts. I run off to do something fun. He likes to food shop.

Same here. We do a lot together, but we also do some things separately. Each one of us having one has worked out good.

I agree. We had one for several years and found it was more convenient to have two since we played golf in different groups.

We have one car and one cart. It works great for us but I don't golf.

We all have preconceived notions before we move to The Villages.
As Missypie wisely said, living here gives clarity!

We are buying a new cart this year and going to keep our old one

We have 2 carts 1 car. On property the carts are used 100% of the time. Mine is a 4 seater hers is a 2 seater. Both are gas and we use them both equally. By the way we don't golf.
