Add one of those computer chips to your cart, and the time from A-B is more fun, and faster.

The answer is zero because you can't have a a gazebo on your property here in TV... but I have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express! Can you get to the Holiday Inn Express by golf cart?

Hmmmmm, does Holiday Inn Express service golf cart's now?

that it takes almost (but not quite) twice as long to get somewhere by cart as by car, BUT I am usually in a better mood when I get there, and yes, parking is much easier, especially at the squares.

Again, depends on where you live. Most people find that they tend to do lots more activities near where they live. We're in Sabal Chase, which is going to be close to the geographical center of Largo when build-out occurs. We do a lot in the 9 rec centers that are within a 20 minute cart drive of here, about 7 of them within about 10 - 15 minutes. We also are only about 10 minutes by cart from the Morse blvd. bridge and Lake Sumter Landing and can get to Spanish Springs in about 20 minutes.

But there are advantages to living in almost any location, especially if it's near something that you use a lot. Think about this when you're buying - if you expect to use the wood shop 3-5 days a week, for instance, or one of the pottery studios at particular rec centers. Or if you know you love the Fitness Center in Spanish Springs and use it a lot. Those things probably aren't going to change.

Unlike many, I do go "up north" to golf, go to rec centers, visit friends and go shopping. Takes about 25 min. to Oakleigh/Amberleigh golf courses and about 30-35 min. to Mulberry (but 15-20 min. to Mulberry by car). There are some golf cart short cuts you learn after you're here awhile. Less than 20 min. from Sabal Chase to visit friends deep into Summerhill (north of 466) last night.

And, oh yes, we have an electric golf cart - 2 of them. I am more careful about taking the cart if I are driving at night, because the lights use a lot more battery power. If it's really cold, or raining, and we're going very far, we do take the car. Most of the stuff we do is during the day, however - we are too tired to do much at night

IMO, Gas carts r the only way too go.....>Varoooooooommmm

This would have been my answer. There's no speed limit higher than 35 mph, except for 466 and 466A. So your cart is going to go just a bit faster than half what a car can go. You have a few detours here and there to access a tunnel to cross un-cartable roads and it all works out to about half the time, as Shrimpy point out.

In the summer we took a slow cart from Lopez to Bonifay area in 1 hour probably 50 min with our new cart

Thanks for posting this info. about how long it takes to get from Lopez to Bonifay area in a golf cart. I rented near Nancy Lopez last year, and I was wondering how long of a ride it would be to the "south side" of TV in a golf cart from Lopez. Since I'm still a golf cart rookie, I would tack on another hour for getting lost if I was to attempt that journey .
