Customization Options for Your Golf Cart

Posted in Golf Carts

When you buy a vehicle, one of the factors you consider is the features. You want to have aesthetic, convenience and comfort features that make your ride more enjoyable. The same can be true of your golf cart. Many of the same options that come standard on most cars and trucks can be added to your golf cart. Here are some ways you can personalize and customize your golf cart for your preferences.

Paint and Wheels

Make your golf cart match your style with customized paint and upgraded wheels. You will be amazed what a few aesthetic options can do to make your golf cart look more stylish.

Heaters and Fans

Even though many golf carts are open-air vehicles, you can still benefit from a heater or fan in your cart. This can give you comfort between holes on the course or wherever you travel with your vehicle.

Enclosures

If you get caught in a rain storm or use your golf cart in the winter, an enclosure can be handy to have. This can keep you warm and dry when you are enjoying your trips outside.

Stereo

Few cars or trucks would be sold without some type of stereo. You can choose any type of audio system you want – connect to your digital music or just add a radio or stereo.

Comfort and Convenient Options

Comfortable seats, cup holders and other features we take for granted in other vehicles rarely come standard in a golf cart. But you can add them or ask for them to be included when you order your new golf cart.

Don’t settle for a boring “cart” when you can have a stylized personal transportation vehicle. Talk to your golf cart dealer about all the options available to customize your golf cart.

3 Tips to Keep Your Electric Golf Cart Running like a Champ

Posted in Golf Carts

Whether you use your electric golf cart for running the course or as personal transportation around your property, you want to keep it in tip-top shape. Maintaining your cart can extend the life of your investment and give you the most value for your money. Doing a few maintenance items can make sure your golf cart is always ready to go. Here are three tips to keep your electric golf cart running like a champ.

Maintain Your Batteries

For electric golf carts, one of the main areas to worry about is your batteries. They are the fuel that powers your cart and they are very expensive to replace. Make sure they are always kept completely charged, are filled with water and receive regular maintenance including cleaning the cables.

Schedule Regular Tune-Ups

Like any vehicle, your golf cart needs routine service to keep it running like it should. Schedule routine tune-ups at your local golf cart dealer as recommended by the manufacturer.

Check Your Brakes and Tires

You may not be speeding down the freeway with your electric golf cart, but you still want to ensure that it is safe. Checking the air pressure on your tires before use is important. You also need regular inspections and maintenance for your brakes to keep them working safely, including replacing brake pads and adding fluid as necessary.

By doing a few key maintenance items you can ensure the safety and reliability of your electric golf cart, helping it last for years before you need a replacement. Talk to your local dealer about maintenance options and bring your cart in for service as needed.

Do You Have Golf Cart Envy?

Posted in Golf Carts

When you head out on the course with your golf cart, are you a little embarrassed of your old cart? As other golfers zip by in new carts with all the bells and whistles, you may be a little envious. But if your existing golf cart still runs, it can be hard to justify spending money on a new cart. Here are some options to explore to give you a golf cart that you can be proud to own.

Add Some Accessories

If you are not ready to buy a new cart, consider adding some new accessories to your golf cart. You can add some new wheels, get a paint job or bolster the stereo system. A few little changes can make your golf cart look like new and give it a few more amenities until you decide it is time to upgrade to a new model. A quick customization can make a big difference in updating your old golf cart.

Trade-in for a New Cart

If your existing cart still runs and drives, you are more likely to get a higher trade-in. Many golf cart dealers sell used golf carts and will take used models in as trade. You can get the most value for your cart and find a new model that will make you the envy of the golf course. Make sure to ask about all the new options for your new cart to ensure it has everything you want and need.

Don’t live with an inferior golf cart. Head over to your local golf cart dealer and talk about updating your golf cart or springing for a new model with a trade-in this summer.

Posted in Golf Carts

You don’t need to have a boring golf cart. If you have a run-of-the-mill golf cart, jazz it up with a makeover. Golf carts can be customized to improve the style and functionality. If you are ready to personalize your golf cart, consider these customization options:

Larger wheels can also give you more clearance if you use your cart on rough terrain; you can also add a lift kit to improve the appearance and function of your cart.
  • Change the color. The standard colors in golf carts can be dull. Get a customized paint job to make your golf cart stand out in the crowd – it will easy to see you coming when you go with a bright color or interesting graphics.
  • Comfort amenities. Change the seats, add heat/or a fan – make your golf cart comfortable. You can install a stereo and many of the same features you have in your vehicle to your golf cart. An enclosure can also keep you dry when the bad weather hits.
  • Go street legal. Want to take your cart off the course or trails and onto the road? Consider adding a street legal kit to your cart and get more function for your cart. It can be a great way to get around the neighborhood.

Give your old golf cart a new look. Talk to your local golf cart dealer that offers customization and start your golf cart makeover – you want your cart to look great for the summer.

Top Customized Options for Your Golf or Utility Cart

Posted in Golf Carts

You wouldn’t be satisfied with a base model car or truck, so why accept less for your new golf or utility cart? There are so many options to make your cart personalized for your comfort, style and taste. Before you buy a standard golf cart, consider some of the bells and whistles that are available at quality golf cart dealers.

  • Heaters/fans. Keep warm or cool off with options to keep you comfortable when you are out tooling around in your new cart. The heater can be wonderful for early morning golfers or hunters heading out in the woods. Enclosures are also available.
  • Customized bodywork or paint. Trick out your new ride with flames or specialized bodywork. There are many ways to update the look of a standard golf cart.
  • Wheels. Like all vehicles, golf carts with stylish wheels are very popular right now. Consider Mag wheels or choose from many different types of rims to accessorize your new cart.
  • Lift kit or larger tires. Going out on rugged trails? Get your cart lifted and add larger tires to make sure you have the clearance you need.
  • Of course, adding a stereo is almost a necessity. Who wants to go anywhere without access to music or at least a radio?
  • Street legal kits. In many residential areas, golf carts can be used on roads with the addition of a street legal kit.

Don’t settle for a basic golf cart model when you can customize your new cart for your lifestyle. Talk to your local dealer to find out all the options and features available for your new cart.

3 Options to Consider Adding to Your New Golf Cart

Posted in Golf Carts

Are you ready to invest in a new golf cart? Whether your new cart will actually head to the golf course or it will be used in another capacity for recreation or business, there are many options you can choose to customize your cart. The new golf carts available are far more advanced and have many features that can benefit you as an owner. Before you begin shopping for your new golf cart, consider these three options that could make your new vehicle more versatile.

  1. Street legal kits. Make your golf cart into economical transportation with a street legal kit. Even if you plan on using it mostly on the course or on your property, having your cart street legal adds value and can be useful for quick trips around the neighborhood.
  2. Comfort features. Cup holders, heaters and stereos are standard in cars, but not necessarily in golf carts. However, almost anything available for your car is also available in golf carts, just as custom options, not standard.
  3. Tires and wheels. You can opt for off road tires or larger wheels on your new golf cart, giving you more options where you can take your new cart. Larger wheels with better traction on your tires allows for more clearance to go into more rugged terrain.

Don’t settle for a plain golf cart when you can customize your new cart with all the newest options. Talk to your golf cart dealer about all the new features that are available for your new golf cart and make it exactly the way you want before you buy it.
