The golf cart maps that I've been looking at seem confusing, and I'm not in TV at the moment to check on the GPS app, heading back there in a few weeks. Does anyone know?

Nope. The only way to cross the Turnpike (as of now) is via the Water Lily Bridge...

Once the new bridge opens, farther South, it'll be a much easier drive...

Via golf cart? The only route is over Water Lily Bridge.
Bicycle - you could go down warm spring to Meggison.
As stated, once the Bexley Trail Bridge opens, that will give a second golf cart route
to the rest of the Villages from the Fenney/Marsh Bend side of the Florida Turnpike.

Do you not like the Water Lily Bridge? You should try the Spanish Springs Bridge, that is fun.

It's going to be a long hot summer, just drive you car over, stay cool and save time.

I actually really enjoy the Water Lily bridge, my question was more about whether it was the only option. It figured that it might be slightly shorter getting there by another way, but even when the other bridge opens, I'm not too sure about that.

As this place gets bigger and bigger and people want to go from one end to the other golf carts will not be as feasible.

Sawgrass from Marsh Bend / Fenney is one of those times when Car is quicker than Cart.

It is not about how quick you can get there, it is about how many miles to can drive the golf cart everyday.
