Upgrades for Your Golf Cart

We recommend considering the following upgrades to improve your golf cart riding experience.

All-Terrain Tires

The golf course is only one place you can visit with your golf cart. The correct tires will allow you to cruise around a wide range of places. Drive around your neighborhood and get to your neighbor's barbecue in style. Head down the beach on a fun family outing. All you need is all-terrain tires, which offer the deeper tread and larger size needed to handle a variety of terrains.

A Lift Kit

If you get all-terrain tires, you will also need a lift kit. This can add two to six inches of lift to your golf cart. It'll also improve your driving experience since the extra lift results in a smoother ride.

A Golf Cart Enclosure

There may be some days you want to go for a ride, but it's not a pleasant sunny day. A golf enclosure wraps around your rig to make a comfortable experience inside, blocking out bothersome weather such as wind or rain.

LED Lights

Improve your visibility by getting LED lights. These cost more upfront, but they save you money in the long run. They are able to last much longer so you can save money on bulb replacement. They also create a brighter beam and drain less power.

Rear Flip-Seat Kit

If you want to bring more passengers along for the ride, get a rear flip-seat kit. It's able to offer more seating so you can take more friends on board. It can also convert into a flat surface for days you want more storage capacity.

Golf Cart Accessories

There are also some must-have accessories that you should bring along on your golf cart ride, which we discuss below.

Coolers

Get a special rack to mount coolers onto your golf cart. They can be used to keep drinks cold, snacks fresh, and even store extra golf balls.

Insect Repellent

There are plenty of bothersome pests out in nature. Keep them far away from you using insect repellent. 

Gloves

Bring a pair of gloves anytime you go golfing. They will offer great protection from blisters while you drive your golf cart and while you hit every golf ball. They can also offer extra protection on days where the temperature is cooler and the wind has picked up.

A Tire Pressure Gauge

For your tires to function well, they need to be inflated to the proper levels. A tire pressure gauge is an easy tool for checking the air pressure levels to see if they need to be adjusted.
