Unless you are staying on the corner of Gulf Blvd and another street you will not be able to use the golf cart to access your vacation stay directly, you would be forced to park somewhere else and walk.
We will deliver Golf Carts to the State Park as they are allowed to roam the Park, however, there is no legal way to drive the Golf Cart to the Park since the only route to the Park prohibits Golf Carts.
