Depends on your lifestyle. Move here, get involved in whatever you like, take your time and see what best fits your needs. Don't have to rush into anything---your retired now and not on a schedule. (Yesterday I did nothing but enjoy life. Since I didn't get finished, I continued enjoying life today.)

mrhentzel's comments seems like very good advice. We are relatively new to The Villages. We rented a place last Feb, fell under the spell, arranged to build a home in March, closed in June and started our first snowbird season in Nov. We originally thought we would purchase a golf cart within a week or two, but here we are two months later and no golf cart. There are golf carts everywhere and everyone seems to use them, but I am beginning to wonder about their utility. They are fun and we used one when we rented in Feb, but by the end the month, we were not using the golf cart very much.

We have two cars and a golf cart garage that is filled with a workshop and bicycles. We use our bikes for travel to/from activities and short hops to the stores. Bicycle travel is every bit as rapid as a golf cart and a lot better exercise. A bike ride to Fruitland Park or Wildwood or ??? is a pleasant ride and not possible with a golf cart. I much prefer walking when playing golf. And anything else seems to warrant a car. I am beginning to wonder what I would do with a golf cart. I suspect that we will eventually purchase a golf cart, but I am leaning towards a motorcycle as the next piece of transportation.

We are a real rarity in that we gave up a car TOTALLY! Have one golf cart right now, will eventually get another one. when we want to go somewhere off campus, we rent a car from Enterprise, usually getting a great weekend rate. This past weekened we had to go to Vero Beach, and go a KIA from Enterprise for 12 dollars a day!!! I know some people could not survive without a car, but in our case, it has worked out great.

We don't have a car either just one golf cart and do the same RCT. Actually there is very little you can't do around here, without a car

When our oil tank was removed from underground and installed inside the garage up here in CT, the installer drilled into the floor and added two thick (about 4" diameter) metal poles about 5 feet apart in front of the oil tank. That keeps us from doing damage by hitting the oil tank when we drive into the darkened garage.

We have one car (large) , two golf carts ,one bicycle and a honda motor scooter ......We have plenty of room but one of the golf carts just sits...

trying to decide if I should sell it or not ???????

My POINT IS , I'm not sure that you really need two golfs carts..You might want to try just one at first and see how it go's.....
