But it got me to thinking. If one was able to have a cart with an enclosed heated interior, not have to play cart path only, have a jacket and winter golf glovers perhaps it would be doable. What things are must haves for cold golf? I've heard of "winter golf gloves" but never used them myself.

Played a lot of winter golf and number one walking keeps you warm don't get too bulky with clothing. Those winter golf gloves work but keep a heavy pair while walking to the ball. Stay in bed till the sun melts off any frost on the greens as the marshall won't let you play till then. Sometimes the ball won't hold the green and almost requires British style run it up to the green. Oh, definitely a good stocking hat with a tight weave, not those wind whistler Walmart specials. Also those light spandex neck warmers you can pull over your face as the wind can frostbite tender nonweather conditioned skin.
Winter golf is a lot of fun because of light crowds and you can speed golf. Also ignore your score low rounds are rare.
