Why a Golf Cart Is Worth Owning This Year
The usual reason people buy a cart is not golf. It is the school run, the trip to the clubhouse, the five-minute drive to a neighbour’s house that somehow takes twenty minutes in a car because of parking.
What it actually costs to run
An electric cart charged from a standard outlet costs a few dollars a month in electricity, has no oil to change, and wears through brake pads far more slowly than a car because it weighs a fraction of one.
- No fuel, no oil changes, minimal consumables
- Charges overnight from an ordinary outlet
- Insurance, where required, is typically cheap
The convenience argument
Carts park anywhere legal, fit in a garage without a three-point turn and can be loaded with groceries, tools or golf bags without contorting through a boot.
Resale is steady too: inspected carts with records sell quickly in communities where new buyers are arriving every season.
