Many people are concerned about golf cart prices and due to this, we get a lot of questions similiar to “how much do golf carts cost?” Due to this, I’ve written this post.
Golf carts are no longer just the property of public and private gold courses or country clubs. More and more private citizens, golfers and non-golfers alike, have discovered the value of owning their own golf carts. Golf carts are versatile vehicles that have many uses on and off the golf course. Most people purchase golf carts to make traveling around the greens easier while golfing and to help avoid back strain from carrying their golf clubs themselves. On many larger country club style golf courses, carts are almost necessary to easily traverse the entire golf course.
Golf cart usage has become quite widespread in recent years. From its early days as an aid in helping golfers alleviate the weight of carrying a golf bag loaded with clubs and other accessories, to its appearance as a mode of transportation within neighborhoods, the role of the golf cart has evolved. The ability to customize your golf cart has moved it from an adult “go cart” to a symbol of wealth and style.
Golf carts made their debut in the 1950s and cost between $300 and $400. The earliest golf carts were electric, powered by small car batteries that were plugged into a power source when not in use. Electric golf carts are still popular today. In the 1970s, the gas powered golf cart was developed and cost between $1,000 and $1,300. Gas powered golf carts are generally more powerful and somewhat louder than the electric version.
Nowadays, golf carts can cost anywhere from $500 to $5000 for a top end model. It is recommended to buy second hand golf carts if you are on a budget as they are much cheaper.
