Dealing with a very old phone, old battery, and almost-two-hour golf cart drive. The GPS app sucks up a LOT of battery, which will die before we even get halfway there on a full charge.

So - does anyone have DIRECTIONS to the golf course from the Spanish Springs area? Or even from Sumter Square, since we know how to get there just fine.

I understand to go Morse Blvd, take whatever tunnels get you around the roundabouts, south south south...

But I also know to get to Kristine something, because you can't go further on Morse by golf cart and have to use Kristine to get to some bridge that goes over 44. Only one of us is going.

GPS gives live instructions, but not printable directions. I need printable directions, and they have to include the lead-up and instructions on how to get to this Kristine Way/Road bypass, and the name of the bridge that he has to go over, and everything from that point on.

Google maps using bicycle option is useless because it says to ride ON the roundabouts, which you can't do in a golf cart, and I'm not familiar enough with signage and tunnels and bypasses down there and would totally spend a lot of time being lost.

Stop at the Villages sales office in either SS or LSL on your way and get a good old fashioned map. It’s easy, take Morse all the way south past the Rohan Recreation center and take the Bridge over 44 and follow the signs to Sawgrass. Then take the new bridge over the turnpike just south of sawgrass and follow the MMP through the construction zone toward the new high school. Have a great trip!

Don’t you have the ability to have your phone plugged in while driving? My golf cart does, am I wrong in thinking this is a normal feature?

If not, invest in a portable charger, cheap & useful in cases like yours. Overnight delivery from Amazon likely, hopefully that’s before your trip.

You are right, after following Morse south, south, south you have to turn left on Kristine Way as if you are going to the Rohan Rec center. Pass the center and take a right (This is right after the rec center parking & before the shopping center). The right will take you over the Chitty-Chatty golf cart bridge. Wheee! Stay on your MMP & pass through the villages of Chitty-Chatty & Bradford, you are now running parallel to Morse south, south south again. Until you turn left to run along Meggison follow Meggison until you turn right to cross Meggison, right after Saw Grass Grove (which will be on your right), right again you are now on the south side of Meggison heading towards Bexley Trail turn left to head over the crossing of the Florida Turnpike, still running along Bexley Trail, south, then you go right along 470 / Central Parkway & underneath, now heading west follow this & stay on the MMP to head south again & voila, you are there. Good Luck. I hope this helps.

OBB, if your cart has an old style cigarette lighter, you can get an adapter (any auto parts store) that will allow you to plug in your phone to keep the battery charged. If your cart does not have one of these, I can install one as can many of the mobile golf cart service companies. I cannot imagine trying to use a paper printout while driving a golf cart.

Sawgrass is on the left along Meggison MMP.

Thank you for the correction. You are right, of course. It will only be on the left once they have crossed Meggison & are heading east.

Perhaps it's time for a new phone (or battery), that will last more than an hour.

It's not my phone, not my golf cart, not my trip. I wouldn't be asking if it was.
