Whether golf carts can drive "anywhere" depends on the type of turf and soils and the weather and time of year.
I'd be perfectly fine if carts were allowed to drive anywhere whenever feasible under those circumstances, if they were parked the rest of the time, and we didn't have to deal with cart paths.
But there is a whole host of reasons why that's not going to happen, so I don't see the point of this thread.
P.S. My favorite recommendation of Brooks Koepka for Memorial Park: "Do we have to have cart paths?" We all got a good laugh out of that one.
