Which Golf Cart is Right for You?

There are a wide variety of things you should consider when purchasing a golf cart, such as how they are powered, maintenance required and the total cost.

An electric golf cart is great for people who use their carts mainly on the golf course. They drive smooth, are quiet and can get you where you need to go and the battery will last you an entire game. Sitting in your quiet cart under the shaded golf cart cover is relaxing on a nice summer day.

If you decide to go with a gas powered golf cart, you'll appreciate the ease of use at places such as construction sites, camping an other all-terrain environments. They can handle rougher land and will also travel longer distances since they run on gas.

If you properly maintain your golf cart at regular intervals, you shouldn't have to worry about it breaking down, but gas-powered golf carts are more likely to require maintenance due to the gas engine and other parts.

Depending on the amount you plan to spend on a golf cart, you have the choice of purchasing either a used or new golf cart. The average prices of a new cart such as a Yamaha golf cart costs range from $5,000 to $7,000, but if you decide to go for a used golf cart, you can pick it up for almost half the cost.

Knowing these things before making your purchase can help make sure you buy the right golf cart for your needs.
