Your guests would much better enjoy being Villagers for a day or more.
You will enjoy a 2 seater riding around the villages more.
Rent when you need it and give your guests the Villager experience....they will really thank you
Everyone driving a golf car is smiling, 3/4 of the folks riding a bike are not smiling, electric bikers are smiling, very few walkers are smiling...........give them the smiling treatment if you really want them to have a great experience

I know you can't have 4 for golf, I'm talking about running around town w others or visitors?

2 carts vs 1 four seat cart?

I'd say 95% of the time the two-seater fits our needs perfectly. With visitors, especially w/family, we just rent one or two from Villages Golf Cars. The rent is reasonable and carts are always available.

The problem with the rentals from the golf stores is they’re very slow (maybe 17 mph max), have no seat belts, and the basic bench seats are very uncomfortable. That’s not the golf cart experience we want our guests to have when visiting us.

Based on personal experience with our 2 front/2 rear facing seats Yamaha cart it’s not great either. We can’t talk to our guests, they are awkwardly facing the carts behind us, and the rear facing seat is an uncomfortable bench seat.

Knowing what we know now after almost two years here, we’d buy two 2-seater carts, or one Evolution d5 front facing 4 seater in addition to our Atomic Cool Kart.

Hi Bprice1234

It really depends on you, your lifestyle and the amount of visitors you receive.

We right off the bat, bought a 2 plus 2 (backwards). We use it for guests at a minimum 2 weekends per month. The backwards thing is good for some and not for others. We now have that, and we purchased a 4 Forward. We use BOTH! The 4 forward is so good for couples to get around and talk. In the south end, you actually see them alot more now.

Golf? Not an issue at all. Take both on all the time. Parking? Depends which brand you get. Some fit nicely pulling in, some brands are too long and you park like a car.

In the end, it is all preference. When it is just my wife & I, we take the 2 plus 2. Anytime we have a guest, the 4 forward. Sometimes we need both. Say 3 people visit us. Then we need both.

If you seldom get guests, I still recommend getting a 2 plus 2 at a minimum. It always comes in handy. Worse case, the seats flip down and you can carry "stuff" . Very convenient.

Good luck
Thanks
Have a blessed day
Serge

1. I'm not sure we could fit a four-seater in our garage.

3. When we do have visitors we sometimes head different directions and can each take a cart
4. It's sometimes nice for each of us to pair up with one half of the visiting couple for a conversation - two carts provide that opportunity

We probably paid more for our two carts than you would pay for a single four-seater but for us it was easily worth the money.

We have a 2-to-4 seater that converts. Use back seat rarely. When grandkids come, rent a 2-seater from Villages Golf Carts for however many days needed.

We have 2, 2 seater carts!
Works great! If you need additional carts for company, go rent one! Just reserve the rentals ahead!

I’m old school, golf carts are two seats, look like a Yamaha not a car and not a pickup truck. We got rid of one regular cars here because we didn’t need it. We can put them on one side of a two car garage with room to spare. I guess it depends on how you use them. We play a lot and use it a lot for local activities. We have visitors but figure out just how many days a year is that.
