The issue is range. An electric cart has limited range, from 50 to 75 miles depending on the batteries you pick. At that point you need to recharge which can be many hours before you are ready to go again. The gas cart has a range of about 200 miles on a tank and you can just get gas and you are ready to go again. The villages has grown so much that to go from one end to the other is close to 30 miles by golf cart 60 miles round trip. It is not likely you will do that by cart but range is the limiting factor in electric. That being said people like the electric carts because they are quiet and eco friendly. The accessories you can get on gas and electric are virtually the same. So for me it came down to range and the gas cart is much more versatile

If you get electric ( which we've had for over 10 years) you just plug it in after your last trip of the day and it charges overnight. No storing gas, no gas odor while driving and very quiet. The new ones easily go over 50 miles and if I were to drive more than that I'd take a car anyway.

Carts and Clubs are far better for price and service. You’ll wait in line for service, C&C comes to your house no extra money.

We bought two years ago, no wait. Just because the villages has a 3 month wait does not mean all dealers are out of stock. It is worth a few phone calls to check price and availability.

That’s Village Discount Golf Car. I bought mine there as well. Huge savings over The Villages. And like you said, great folks.

Just noticed joined in 2016 and first post? Stirring things up a little?

SO MANY "first posters" with signups in 2016 posting troll like posts. Must be a coincidence LOL. Been noticing that for many months here, always 2016, always 1 post, and rarely ever to return. Gotta keep up the traffic on the forum. Also funny how these comments most always get deleted.

We custom designed ours and I think it took about 6 or 8 wks after we finalized our design. It arrived in early Jan 2020, so, before Covid. We got a Yamaha.

Give Wholesale Golf Carts a look. Bought two there, will buy our next ones there as well. Service has been exceptional...very affordable and quick turnaround. Never, ever had an issue with them. Ask for Ron or Chase (the owner).
