I doubt it.

The Agent might, out of his/her own pocket, you would have to ask them.

You should be able to find a rental.

That’s not a lifestyle visit.

You are literally NOT living the lifestyle, you are living in an RV.

Which raises another question: If they were to buy in TV, would they get rid of their RV or store it at a facility outside TV? They should ask their sales agent about the rules regarding parking.

Have you found a place to set up your RV that is golf cart accessible to The Villages? I don't know of any place like that.

You cannot drive a golf cart on the main roads.

The Villages doesn't have any RV parks. It sounds like you'll be staying NEAR the Villages, but not IN it. That means that any golf cart you get, you won't be able to drive into The Villages. You could rent a cart for a day, but you'd still have to go TO the Villages to use it there.

Which is why this thread is starting to look more and more like a hit and run click bait.

OP is not doing a lifestyle visit, and asking will agent supply cart if staying in an RV?

OP you really need to research where you are parking RV, and proximity of any entrance to TV. If you aren’t paying for a lifestyle visit, i can’t think of any agent that would take such a risk to provide you with anything related to a lifestyle visit, much less a very expensive golf cart.

They would be happy to show you homes, maybe buy you lunch. But nothing related to a LSV would be in the mix

But that’s what the op said. They are not doing a lifestyle visit.

I doubt the agent would spring for a cart. Rentals cost a bit and agents don’t have access to free carts.

But hey the post about Walmart is true. They allow people to use their lots for rvs. I know someone who literally lived in a Walmart lot.

We are going to stay at a RV park in Ocala, and drive to the Villages with our tow car to meet with a sales rep to buy in the villages. I was just asking if a golf cart would also be available to use.

The sales rep drove us around in his car. Villages is huge, golf cart is too slow. We did come back a different day and rented a cart. Costs about $35/day and you can rent them in several locations, including Brownwood town center, Sumpter Landing town center and other places.
