Earplugs may be your inexpensive and effective answer.

Be grateful it’s golf carts and not the sounds of the Florida Turnpike!
Consider yourself blessed it’s not “Jake brake” noise.

Or Pickle Ball noise as that will drive you crazy. The plants will also help with privacy. Lived on a golf course for 13 years and would never do it again, I thought the view would be great which it was but the maintenance workers noise and lack of privacy was not worth it.

Sorry you have that annoying noise. I suggest a nice water fountain. Check out local nurseries and try to hear them before purchasing. Good luck.

I read this morning, on the site that mustn't be mentioned, that a lady living in Palermo Place in the Village of Valle Verde, has been instructed to reduce her sound reducing hedge to four feet.
The hedge has been in place for 20 years, but was recently reported anonymously.
Owner supposedly received encouragement from none-other-than The Villages Vice President Jennifer Parr to let the hedges grow.

Is the noise noticeable when the windows are closed? If so, new impact glass windows can cut down the noise. Probably only needed on tnose windows facing the path and do cost 2 1/2-3X times more regular windows. Do not know of any shrubbery which would solve this problem.

Agree - Impact resistant glass should almost eliminates the noise.

Not if it can be heard from other houses nearby. Some people think that everyone likes to listen to a waterfall or a wind chime. They don't. To some people, it is noise pollution.
