Yes, the reed valve is easily replaceable. If there is oil in the carb inlet then you should replace the reed first and see if that helps/fixes the issue. It's under the rocker cover and held on by one screw/bolt. Easily replaceable with the cover off.

And these can burn quite a bit of oil without heavy/noticeable smoking if it's getting into the right place. The head gasket issue I mentioned can cause that as well. The Reed valve is inexpensive and would be a necessary replacement part if you end up having to rebuild the motor anyway.

I think the part number on that should be 1016483. Get in touch with David Hicks at Revolution Golf Cars, or your local Club Car dealer (if there is one nearby) should have them in stock.
