Sold the second car eight plus years ago just prior to moving here. Been a one car one cart family ever since and content with the arrangement.

1 car and 1 electric cart work just fine for us. Been here 6 years and sold the second auto after 1 year. One of us works and uses either the car/cart depending on who is golfing that day. Amazing how the decision lowered our insurance and maintenance/operating costs/year. Have talked about a second cart but don't see the need yet...........

We plan on having my Mini cooper and one cart until we have a few extra $$$ to buy a second cart. I feel once we get familiarized with TV, wifey and I will be going different places and may need a second cart. We'll worry about that issue within a few months. My biggest decision is whether to but a good used cart in the $5-6 thousand range or to spring 10 grand on a new one. I have two weeks to decide.

Default Ditto here

We had a car and a pickup and an electric golf cart. Pickup was in Missouri but had difficulty with licensing and insurance since we are full time Florida residents.

Ended up selling the pickup and purchasing a gas golf cart. We are extremely happy with that arrangement. If you are both active in activities you will fight over the golf cart. So really depends on your activity level.

It's WONDERFUL not to be filling up the car with gas. We use about 1/4 tank of gas a week.

You will love it here!
