I think I'm seeing a pattern. Those who don't have or rent a golf cart are the ones that don't like the place. They are having to dodge golf carts. We've been there without a golf cart and even my daughter and I walked up to the main stretch for the nightly cruise and we never felt that we had to dodge golf carts. Of course we didn't walk down the middle of the road either. We stayed to the side.
There are better parts of e park to stay in, depending on the time of the year to go. One reason why I said to research, which could actually mean to ask ahead of time from those who go often. And it goes for Lakewood too.
