Golf Carts in Florida Retirement Communities — Why They're Essential
Florida is home to more retirement communities than any other state, and golf carts are the primary mode of short-distance transportation in most of them. From The Villages (the world's largest 55+ community with 200,000+ residents) to Citrus County's Beverly Hills and Pine Ridge, golf carts are as common as cars in Florida active adult communities.

Florida's Most Active Golf Cart Retirement Communities
The Villages — Marion, Sumter, and Lake Counties

Citrus County Communities — Beverly Hills, Pine Ridge, Citrus Springs
TIGON Lecanto's home territory. Citrus County's retirement communities collectively support one of the highest golf cart ownership rates per capita in Florida. Most neighborhoods have speeds of 20–25 mph that make golf carts both legal and practical.

Sun City Center — Hillsborough County
One of Florida's oldest retirement communities has been golf-cart-centric since the 1970s. Over 40 miles of internal cart paths connect the entire community.
