Golf carts can be an excellent investment even for those who don’t actually play golf. These vehicles are extremely versatile and useful for many different purposes, from transportation to hauling items to off-roading.

Curious to know more? Dever Golf Car Sales is your Kentucky golf cart dealer, with locations in Louisville and Lexington. Read on to learn some of the many reasons why you might want to purchase a golf cart.

1. You Can Save Money

Your average car or truck will use up a lot more fuel than a golf cart does. Whenever you’re able to swap out your car for your golf cart, you can save money. Outfitting your golf cart to make it street-legal expands the possibilities even further. Think about using your cart for neighborhood errands instead of driving a few blocks to pick something up. 

You’ll save even more money if you buy an electric golf cart, since there won’t be any need for fuel or oil changes. Just plug your cart in at night to charge up the battery. The electricity used will cost you a fraction of the price of a tank of gas!

2. You’ll Lower Your Carbon Footprint

Worried about the environment and your own impact on it? Golf carts are much more eco-friendly than cars, since they consume less fuel due to their smaller size. Electric golf carts are especially sustainable, since they use your local power source instead of gas. Even if you go with a gas model, though, you’ll be lowering your carbon footprint whenever you use your golf cart instead of driving your car or truck. 

3. You Can Improve Golfing

Of course, golf carts were created in the 1930s specifically to make it easier to get yourself and your clubs around the golf course without having to walk across large expanses of grass. A golf cart makes golfing much more enjoyable and more accessible to people with disabilities that impact walking or standing.

Not only does your cart get you around the course more easily, but it also doubles as a way to haul supplies with you to improve comfort. Bring along snacks, water, sunscreen, extra clothing and anything else you think you might need while you’re out on the course.

4. You Can Go Off-Roading

While you might think off-roading is relegated to the realm of powersports vehicles and dirt bikes, the truth is that golf carts can also be outfitted to traverse difficult terrain. You’ll simply need a lift kit to improve your ground clearance and the right type of tires to go over dirt, mud or sand. Some ways you can use your golf cart off-road include:

  • Driving across a beach to your ultimate destination with all your beach supplies in tow
  • Going down to a river or pond to fish
  • Traveling through the forest to hunt

5. Your Work Will Be Easier

Many places of business can benefit from having a golf cart on the premises. College campuses can use them for transportation. Retirement communities can use them to shuttle their residents around for various activities, which is especially good since many older people have limited mobility. Landscapers can use golf carts loaded up with tools and materials to get to a worksite easily and quickly. There are undoubtedly many more professional uses for golf carts that we haven’t even thought of!
