My wife and I are in the same boat. We are coming from Ct. and looking for the same. Thru my research, Golf carts are OK on any road posted 35mph or less if registered, insured, etc. You can cross over a road with higher speed limits but not allowed to run parallel to it. Some plantations/developments can make local rules restricting carts from roads. Many of the roads are 45 or 55mph once you leave your community. The above advice of Southport is a good one as it has areas that you can drive to IF you live in the downtown area.
We previously purchased a lot in WRP which has a 45mph road bisecting the community so we are restricted to our part of neighborhood only. We will at least be able to go to the pool and clubhouse in the cart so that's not too bad. My advice is to look at areas on google earth and then use "street view" to "drive" the roads and check the speed limit signs.
Sorry for the confusion. We are looking forward to building in Winding River in about 3 years. We have friends who relocated there and love it. It seems like everyone down there is happy with community. Counting the days to retirement!!
