I love going everywhere in my golf cart. I don't even mind getting rained on. That being said, we do use our car. So many of the doctors are over on 441, which is far for us. There are some very good doctors that are not accessible by golf carts. I agree, wait till you are here before you do away with your car.

How long does it take to get from The Village of Hillsborough to Spanish Springs in a golf cart (assuming one does not get lost)?

It is wise to take food and water for a couple of days. ;)

We think 1 car + 1 golf cart makes the most (balanced) sense. That way you're covered for all "driving" situations. There may be times when 2 carts are better; other times when 2 cars may be needed. But, overall, 1+1 does the overall job very nicely (if you're both fully retired).

My hubby will be here soon ( closing on our home up north). He is for 1 car & 1 golf cart. I have never been without a car, I'm still working, and I'm still a little impatient to get to my destination. He states that he could use the cart when I'm working (he is just as impatient when needing to get to wherever). I vote for a tiny car ( for me), a car for hubby, and the cart for golfing and leisure. Story to be continued...

We occasionally shop at best Buy and Kohls. In addition, we like to drive up to Ocala for a few different reasons. We have annual weekday passes to Disney and I often carry a large amount of music equipment so not having a car is not an option for us. We are contemplating getting another golf cart however. My wife takes the golf cart to work 4-5 days a week and I get stuck having to use the car for trips that I'd much rather do in a golf cart.

Never really timed it, around 90 minutes. We usually take car when we go.

Please clarify -- do you mean about 45 minutes one way?
