I can't say enough about the fun and convenience of the golf cart paths in Peachtree City. We stayed at the Wyndham and traveled EVERYWHERE via golf cart. We even went to the bank drive through and a McDonald's drive through. Once you get used to the fact that everyone travels this way, it's super fun!We drove for hours and discovered hidden gems around the city. A park, a lake, and other quiet places to stop and take a breath.The majority of the paths are well cared for. Safety is taken into consideration. They have stop signs, speed bumps and other safety measures in place. My favorite thing...specialty golf cart parking right in front of many locations. You just can't do that with a car!
After 32 years, we finally got a golf-cart, and we are loving it!!! So much more to see than just driving by in a car!!!
best part of Peachtree City is the golf cart paths. you can go anywhere without ever going on the streets. you can walk, run, and bike on the trails. the paths will take you around the most beautiful places PTC has to offer!!
The cart paths are a jewel to be appreciated and not normally present in a community.But....we need citizens to take responsibility when operating bikes, golf carts, etc to watch out for walkers and joggers. So enjoy the paths, but BEWARE of the selfish users who don't take their responsibility seriously.
Spent Valentine weekend in Peachtree city, and the vacation rental we rented came with a golf cart. The kids especially enjoyed the ride on the golf cart. I would definitely love to visit Peachtree city again !!
Peachtree City is a planned city and the ninety miles of paved golf cart paths were part of the plan. Almost every family owns a golf cart which is used for shopping, going to restaurants, going to school, going to almost any destination within the town, for recreation, and of course for golf.The paths are wonderful for cycling, walking the dogs, or walking on one's own, and for running. Visitors to the town enjoy riding on golf carts as it is a wonderful way to see the neighbourhoods and other sights such as the several lakes in the town. Fireflies can be seen when driving around on a summer's evening. In December one wraps up warmly and then drives around on a golf cart to view the beautiful Xmas lights that residents have used to decorate their homes. The same happens for Halloween.A warning - one has to be extra careful during school holidays, when teenagers are inclined to travel recklessly at speed, despite a speed limit. When walking one also has to be vigilant as golf carts travel very silently and are not always equipped with a horn or bicycle bell, which a driver could use as a warning. of his approach.
We love the paths. They're called golf cart paths by the cart people. They're called bike paths by the bikers. Jogging paths by the joggers and walking paths by the walkers.Walkers should use EXTREME caution as the golf carts are absolutely hazardous. Local ordnance requires the use of a bicycle type bell to warn of their approach. It isn't enforced and probably less than 2% of carters comply. They'll sneaky-Pete up behind you (startling you) or go whistling by at a high rate of speed and way too close. Few drivers have any consideration.
You can get anywhere FROM anywhere, without taking the car, through the woods. They are what puts Peachtree City on Forbes' "Best Places to Live" list on a consistent basis.
Am not a golfer, but would be lost without my golf cart. Can get to the grocery store faster than in the car, plus it is a much more scenic and peaceful trip. Wish the city would do a better job of taking care of them, know money is always an excuse, but think politics have a lot to do with which paths get repaved first. My only complaint, still a convenient and safe way to get around.
I wish that more cities would have this type of vision for their own benefit. Lot of forest, less pollution, no rush, no traffic, etc., and if you pay attention you may discover a deer in your way!The people is very kind also!
