How Golf Carts Can Help People With Disabilities

The golf cart has made golfers’ lives easier for decades, in addition to providing people in many different walks of life with a compact and easy means of transportation for a variety of purposes.

But did you know that golf carts were initially created for people with disabilities? Initial creators wanted to decrease the amount of walking that a golfer had to do on the course, which is why the golf cart was born. Ever since then, golf carts have provided a number of benefits to people with disabilities, including the ones we’ve highlighted below.

Making Golf More Fun

Of course, the most obvious benefit of a golf cart is that it will improve the game for a golfer with disabilities by acting as an off-road friendly mobility aid. Golfers can use their carts to cross golf courses without having to walk and haul their equipment. Newer single-occupant models of golf carts are specifically designed for use on the green by golfers who typically use a wheelchair or walker, and many golf courses have become more ADA compliant.

Facilitating Everyday Transportation

Whether you want to make your way around the neighborhood, the beach, your college campus, or any other large area that would be challenging to navigate with a mobility aid, golf carts can help you here, too. Golf carts are great at going off-road so they can handle difficult terrain. Golf carts are also great to rent for events where people with disabilities will need assistance with transportation, such as weddings, parties, and family gatherings.
