Looking at buying a new cart that is lifted a bit. Anyone know the official lowest height of cart tunnels in the Villages ? Basically up in the north?

There's a PDF for those center and side heights put out by the Villages District Property Management Office.

Unfortunately , many of the district gov links no longer work with the redesigned webpage. This is the page for the tunnel heights.

Here you go.

The second link seems to be the same as the corrected link.

Pay close attention to the side heights for those tight turns.

Try Crown Carts on CR 44 behind the chocolate shop, very close to 301. These carts are a bit higher but fine in the tunnels. Slightly more expensive though.

I bought my cart, used, and it was lifted 4 inches. My roof scrapes the polo field tunnel, and a tunnel by Nancy Lopez.

The Villages has a history of roll over golf cart accidents. I would think that a lower center of gravity would be more desirable than a lifted cart.

Might be outweighed by how much easier it is to repeated get in and out of a taller golf cart than a lower one as one ages.

I often, by reflex, bow my head when going under Buena Vista near the Polo Fields.

Yeah, that one is part of the reason I bought a shorter cart.

A couple years ago a cart got stuck in that tunnel. I'll see if I can find the picture again but essentially, a taller cart entered too close to the edge with poor results.

EDIT: Here is this article from the news source which shall not be named.

The golf cart travelled up the side of the wall and is at about a 40 degree angle.

Saw a lifted knobby-wheel cart get stuck in 466/Morse tunnel 2 weeks ago.
