Rentals are good for visiting company, but may not be able to keep up with a regular cart, even to the legal 19.9 speed. The governors seem to be regulated to a very slow speed on the rentals (for good reason, but annoying when trying to cover ground between the Squares).

Most carts need an additional leaf spring on the back

I was playing golf Thursday at Mallory and the group in front of us had stopped moving. When we walked up to see why, the fellow had his 4 seater cart stuck on top of a hill, so a couple of us had to push him back to get his cart unstuck. The cart is so long that the wheels were up off the ground.

With a four seater you can do all the driving for your friends and neighbors that only have a 2 seater.
We have a 2 seater as most our friends do.
