Default Golf Cart path to Middleton

Does anyone know if you can ride your golf cart to the new high school in Middleton?

The Southern Oaks Bridge is open. There is a golf cart tunnel somewhere under Central Parkway.

I drove over the bridge last Friday and the golf cart bridge was still blocked off.

Unfortunately, once you cross the bridge, there are no open MMPs to go south to Middleton...

Probably by years end, they'll be open...

I did not hear that Southern Oaks Bridge opened the golf cart path, only the vehicle part. News to me.

You’re right. It is not open to cart traffic. I think they are making some progress on the Corbin trail portion of the MMP. My guess is that will open much before the rest of the MMP’s open south of that point.

Just drove down there sunday, in a car.

MMP is not open yet.

It is an impressive campus, would recommend a quick trip down.

They were cleaning up MMP's between the bridge and at least Eastport today.

Makes sense, they will want traffic down there as they show new properties and as the plan to open Eastport.

I don’t think Middleton will be connected to The Villages by golf cart. It is a non-age restricted community intended for younger families.

MMP's connect Middleton to Eastport which is also connected to the rest of the Villages.

The MMP's and tunnels are already there.

It might be a while before Middleton will be accessible by golf cart. You have to cross through 470 and it’s pretty dangerous now with the traffic and trucks. Definitely worth a drive down in a car. I live by sawgrass and it took me around 15 minutes in my car to get there.

Living in Marsh Bend, I just don’t see a way to get to Middleton in a golf cart.
