I hope this is the appropriate sub forum for the thread? So my wife and I have been looking at these golf centric, resort style communities as a full time living option. Most recently several around Tucson. A good many of the homes we've looked at have a golf cart garage. As I've mentioned in other threads, I prefer to and love walking my golf rounds but the way these courses are typically designed, they really don't support doing that (too many long distances between greens & tees). The pro shop (course managed by Troon) said folks do walk it but more so during shoulder seasons when course play is much lower. Considering the prices of these, it would seem ROI's are sporty. But, my wife commented that having one to run to/from the rec center or neighbors would be handy - hey, who am I to argue?
The Copper Canyon GC has stipulations concerning the manf of personal carts. No older than 5 years and only these mfg's. (EZ-GO, Yamaha, Western, Club Car, and Columbia). Having never owned one, I know little about which are better and why. Who on the forum owns their own cart and what were the deciding factors in your purchase? Gas vs. electric? I see like most products these days, there are lots of options and a wide range in price. I fall into the nuttin fancy, best value group when making purchases. Suggestions?
