Remarkable Golf Carts of the Villages

You can easily spend $25,000 on a golf cart! Carts are as important as cars for transportation, status symbols, or reminiscence.

Carts

I never dreamed that I would ever buy a golf cart. Of course, I never imagined that I would ever do karaoke, either.

People do all kinds of things to their carts. Most commonly, they put their first names in the front, add strips of lights, eye-lashes on the headlights, back seat for the dog, college and sports logos of every kind, and then it really gets weird, like fire trucks and Hummers. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Streets and Cart Paths:
Carts are allowed on streets with a speed limit for cars of 30 mph or less. A car going 35 mph on a street open to carts is speeding.

The speed limit for carts is 20 mph. If the Sheriff catches you going 25 mph in a cart, you had better have plates, inspection and an insurance card. Some carts are street legal.
