Hi, I am new to the Villages, closed in September. Yamaha is one of the brands that I was looking at with four seats. Are you implying that it would not be allowed, I am confused by your post. Feel free to text me, 734-564-2729 Thanks, Bill

Welcome to The Villages. You should buy whatever golf cart meets your needs (range, number of seats, electronics, etc.). The only real concern for you is that there are a couple of tunnels up north that have low ceilings that a tall cart may have trouble navigating. Regarding playing golf, you do need turf tires but virtually all golf carts will come with those. If in doubt, tell your dealer you will be playing golf.

Here are the tunnel heights but I doubt you will have issues with a Yamaha. Some other brands of carts have high roofs, especially if they are lifted.

It is absolutely allowed on the golf courses.

When I first came to TV (we rented for a few months to decide where we wanted to buy), I rented a golf car and all that was available was a 4 seater. I played multiple rounds of golf with no issues.

By your reasoning, virtually no golf cart would meet Florida’s statutory definition simply because its governor could be adjusted or its throttle remapped to increase its maximum speed. You’re confusing a vehicle’s current capability with its potential capability after modification.

I seriously doubt the Florida Legislature intended to define golf carts in a way that effectively eliminates them from existence.

How can anyone possibly argue, this vehicle is "manufactured ... for sporting or recreational purposes"?

It was designed and manufactured to move people.

When was the last time you saw a vehicle like this, operating on a golf course, outside The Villages?

(Just anecdotally, but since I've been back TV on October 3rd, I've encountered 97 "4 passenger carts" while driving around (yes, I've been counting). On 4 of the 97, there have been more than (2) people in the cart.)

Funny. A four passenger cart with more than 2 people in it? Wow! What a concept. Have you ever seen more than 2 people in one of these on a golf course? How many of these have you seen on a golf course? So, a 2 passenger golf cart that someone adds a rear seat is a 2+ cart? Or is it a trans cart? I'm pretty sure if you look at the website for Yamaha they actually list the 4 passenger Golf Carts as a golf cart, so I guess it's officially a golf cart.

Will the additional weight cause more wear a tear on the golf course? A wet golf course? 10 feet off the fringe??
