Golf is an enjoyable and addictive sport and hobby. Once you have got the golf bug it never seems to go away. Some people enjoy the exercise they get from walking the whole length of the golf course but for those who don’t they invented golf carts.

A golf cart is a simple vehicle powered most often by a gas engine or by an electric motor powered by batteries. Usually a four wheeled vehicle they have to be able to drive around a golf course without causing damage to the fairway or greens.

Electric golf carts are very easy to drive and have very few moving parts so they are very reliable and requires little in the way of maintenance. The electric motors are very quiet and becuase they are so simple and easy to operate they suit most people very well.

Gas golf carts are like a cut down version of a small car. They have a regular gas engine and can run for hours on a single tank of gas. Electric golf carts need their batteries recharged after a while whereas the gas golf cart can be topped up with a can of gas.

Golf carts can cost a fair chunk of money to buy new but a good secondhand used golf cart can be purchased for a lot less. A good used golf cart can offer excellent value for money and so long as you have it checked over just as you would with a secondhand car you can get a great deal.

Make sure that the golf cart has not been abused and that the maintenance has been carried out correctly and at regular intervals. With proper maintenance a golf cart should run well for years so you can pick up a used golf cart and get many years of use out of it.
