Two prime examples of how northern Villagers are not welcome in the south Villages. Too far to go by golf cart. Impossible to get to by car.

Although I manage ok, I cannot walk the long distances required to get to these facilities, and then also walk the course once I get there.

Too far by cart? I’ve been past there several times. Am I doing something wrong?

I interpreted the original comment meant that coming from north villages areas, across the turnpike, and then over to the disc golf course, was what was "too far [to travel] by cart".

So I would expect the same "it's too far" feeling for taking a golf cart going to Ednas, Sawgrass, the new school, etc. But those places also have car parking, so we don't hear those "too far" types of complaints as often.

Sure. I come from north of Brownwood across 44 and across the Turnpike to get to Everglades. Takes me right past the disc golf area. Never felt it was too far at all. Same for Edna’s and Sawgrass. The new school is a haul though.


The disc course feels like the same distance as LSL though LSL takes longer due to more stops.

It's around 9 mins to Brownwood by cart from there and people don't seem to have any issues finding their way to Brownwood.

Yes, this is exactly what I meant.

It seems I am further north than the others who criticized my reply.
