golf cart advice

Given the relatively short distance, any golf cart would really suffice. Everyone's made some good points though with regards to street legality (although I'm sure law enforcement wouldn't bother you for using it to and from the lake) If that's really a concern there are guides out there to help make golf carts street legal. I personally would recommend Golf Cart Garage only because they have a ton of resources on all the things you are looking for...buying new vs used, making golf carts street legal, gas vs electric, etc.

Typically the biggest concern when choosing between gas and electric is whether it’s a very hilly terrain or not. In the industry widespread opinion is that gas handle hilly terrain better. On the other hand since you’re going down to the water with it and electric can serve as an awesome power supply for other accessories. You could even install an inverter and use it to run a blender to make frozen daiquiris.

New versus used comes down to money you want to spend. This is the right time of year to buy either. If you wait till spring you will pay more.
