Dennis Smith says he'd drive his Club car electric golf cart to Wildwood if there was something there he needed.
For example, said the 67-year-old retired Villages resident, if there was a hardware store, or if passenger trains returned to the train station along U.S. Highway 301 in town, he'd go to Wildwood.
Another incentive to drive to Wildwood would be if there were charging stations for his Club car electric golf cart, such as the one he drives, Smith said.
People who love to drive around in their carts with custom club car golf cart motors may get to do so in Wildwood.
But the idea is just that -- a concept that city officials are just starting to talk about.
The city of Wildwood recently adopted and received state approval for its 2035 Comprehensive Plan, said City Manager Robert Smith.
Included in that plan is a portion that says the city needs to plan for and promote lots of different ways to get around town and try to reduce motor vehicle travel.
At their Jan. 10 meeting, city commissioners told staff to look into ways of making Wildwood more club car electric golf cart-friendly, Smith said.
With places like The Villages and other big residential and commercial developments close by, Wildwood asked Sumter County for help on the club car golf cart motor idea, he said.

First thing's first, though. City staff must assess the following:
-- Which city roads can accommodate carts with high performance yamaha golf carts parts?
-- Would the future demographics of the city support carts with high performance yamaha golf carts parts as a means of transportation?
-- Safety. Dennis Smith, the retired golfer in The Villages, says this is really the key. "Everybody should be concerned about their safety when they are driving a cart with a high performance yamaha golf cart motor," he said.
-- If pathways are needed, how would they be constructed and how much would they cost?
-- How would this affect future development?
-- What developments would support access for golf carts with a high performance yamaha golf cart motor?
-- What are the requirements for street legal carts with a high performance yamaha golf cart motor or yamaha golf cart parts?
After an initial assessment, if the commission chooses, the city would look to hire a transportation engineer to do a formal study.
Herman Schultz, manager of Tomlin USA, a golf cart vendor on U.S. Highway 301 just outside Wildwood, said if he were a Wildwood city official, he'd mostly be concerned for the safety of the operators of the carts with high performance yamaha golf cart motors. For example, The Villages has many paths designated for golf carts with high performance yamaha golf cart parts and Wildwood should consider building the same types of paths, Schultz said.
"You have to have a designated path," he said.
Wherever the city of Wildwood looks for advice on golf carts, with high performance yamaha golf cart parts , one place to start might be the town of Lady Lake. In 1989, the notion first came up for people to get around Lady Lake's portion of The Villages, said police Chief Ed Nathanson.
For years, the Lady Lake portion of The Villages has allowed golf carts with high performance yamaha golf carts parts to drive the streets. A few subdivisions in Lady Lake that are not part of The Villages also allow golf cart drivers, Nathanson said.
In Lady Lake, people can drive golf carts with high performance yamaha golf carts parts 24/7, but to drive at night, they need headlights and brake lights, and preferably, some sort of reflectors, Nathanson said.
Lady Lake has experienced very few major problems with drivers of golf carts, with a high performance yamaha golf cart motor, sharing roads with other motorists, the chief said. In about 20 years, Nathanson said he's worked one fatal accident involving a golf cart driver.
The town regularly conducts courses on how operators of golf carts with high performance yamaha golf carts parts can drive safely with other motorists.
"As long as people make safe choices," they'll be OK, Nathanson said. MSD
