Guide to Buying a Golf Cart: Key Factors to Consider

When considering the acquisition of a golf cart, several factors should be at the forefront of your decision-making process. While some may view golf carts solely as a tool for enhancing your experience on the green, they have a much wider applicability and can provide substantial convenience in a variety of settings.

Purpose and Practicality

Identifying how you will predominantly use your golf cart is crucial. For instance, if intended for golf course use only, consider models developed with this in mind. Conversely, for community or campus use, explore options that can effortlessly handle terrain variations and longer distances.

Gas vs. Electric

Deciding between gas and electric-powered carts typically hinges upon maintenance considerations and running costs. While gas-powered golf carts might have more power and can run longer on a full tank, electric ones are quieter, less expensive to operate, and easier to maintain. 

New vs. Used

A new golf cart will offer convenient warranties and modern features, but purchasing a used model will offer significant cost benefits you may prefer to handy bells and whistles. Just remember you’ll need to keep an eye out for the vehicle's condition and maintenance history.

Seating Capacity 

Similar to cars, seating capacity differs among golf carts with models ranging from small two-seaters to mock "limousine" options that can fit six people or more at a time.
