Default Golf Car Roads

Hi,

I am a new biker and would like to use the golf cart roads and tunnels. Is there a map of the roads and where the tunnels are?

Help!

I believe you can get a map of TV from the sales office ... I believe it has the golf cart paths marked with a dotted line. Have a great time exploring on your bike.

You can order the $5 map from the Mercantile store - 352-753-2129.

It has all roads in TV plus all cart roads. We used it to great success last week in TV.

Best bet is the $5 map. I too after three years am trying to find my way around in the golf cart. I don't find the tunnels or trails marked very well for a "directionophobic" like myself. My husband tells me to follow certain signs and I can't get lost....LOL, I could get lost around the corner!!!!! Good luck!!!

Given how some drive in the tunnels, I would be very hesitant to take my bike through them, especially if I happen to be on it. I'm definitely one of those who votes for helmets and streets.

However, the best map to get is the one from the Mercantile -- the sale office map just doesn't go into enough detail.

You can get the $5 map at the sales offices also.
That's where I got mine. And worth every penny. :bigthumbsup:

The Country Club Pro Shops sell them and if you are a resident you get your 10% discount.

I think this is the same map I got at the sales office ... had to pay $5 for it. Didn't know you could get it elsewhere.

The $5 map, which is excellent for streets AND golf cart trails, is updated periodically. We had ours for a couple months when the new one came out. Makes sense, given how TV is growing, but just keep it in mind and be sure to get the newest edition.

Hi,

Thanks to everyone who answered my question! Just to let you know, I found out the hard way about the tunnels and traveling on a bike. I went down and through the tunnel but couldn't pump my way up the hill to back on the road. I have decided I should stay on the paths or on the streets until I get more experience.

I found out about the map accidentally while in my car yesterday and waiting for my husband to come out of Lowe's. I needed something to look at so I took out the map and low and behold there were the paths and tunnels.

Thanks again.

Suzanne

I definitely do not recommend riding bikes into and out of the golf cart tunnels... It can be very dangerous...........

fumar

besides speeding golf carts in there , there are also buffalo in there after midnight....

;D ;D ;D

I hear they go in there late at night for privacy (to make babies). There are some newborns, right? Did anyone see this activity going on up top?

;D ;D ;D
