Default Golf Cart directions please

I live in Country Club Hills. Is there a way to legally get to the Olive Garden restaurant at "3680 Wedgewood Lane" - the one on 466 by golf cart. If you know a way, I would appreciate it. Start the directions from the golf cart bridge on 441.

Please don't tell me to use my GPS. BTW.... is there a friendly GPS device that has the golf cart paths? That would make a great App for smart phones.

After you cross the golf cart bridge, turn right onto Paige Place, go around the traffic circle on the golf cart path and turn right on El Camino, follow that out to the Savannah Center, cross Buena Vista via the tunnel and go left toward the Polo Field. Turn right onto Southern Trace. Stay on Southern Trace and it dumps into Wedgewood.

From the golf cart bridge, come out to Morse Blvd., take that south till you cross over 466 and then cross over Morse just south of 466. There's a GC path that runs parallel with 466 allllll the way over to Buena Vista. Cross under BV near the water tower. When you come out of the tunnel, take a left and go down to the street that runs behind Bob Evans, Parr Drive I think, and follow that up to CR 103. There you have to cross under 466 again and then go under the tunnel beside Crispers and work your way back down to Wedgewood. Olive Garden will be on your left as you head toward Wal-Mart.

I think this is right. Anyone ele got a better way?

From Wedgewood go down to the end and take a right at the cart path before CR101 (across from the tunnel crossing 466). Go through the tunnel on the left under CR 101 and then then a left to get you back to the main road and take a right back onto the main road. Olive Garden is on your left.

Bon Appittit!

That may be a better way. Neither one is a hop, skip and a jump. Fill up with gas before you leave home.

We do it with our electric cart and haven't come close to running the battery down.

It's too bad that there is only one way to cross 441/27, by the golf cart bridge. It would be nice to have another bridge or a tunnel.

That bridge is one of my tourist attractions for friends who visit us! I just wish they had installed clear glass "windows" along the way so we could look down on 441/27. But then again, that could be a distraction and hazard being the bridge is so narrow. Oh well...I still wish.

Talk about a dangerously narrow bridge with a blind area at the top.

I think a sign says it's for carts and pedestrians. How would you like to walk over that thing?

Yes, there is a way, but it is rather difficult to explain it in a post.
