Do you like the exercise that comes from pushing or pulling your clubs, or do prefer the freedom that comes with an electric cart? There are pluses and minuses for each.
Push Carts
Today’s push carts are lighter, smoother and easier to control, to help golfers stay the course while on the course. Coming in a variety of models that are equipped with the latest accessories, push carts allow golfers to walk with ease.
Clicgear 3.5+
One of the most notable models for the past few years, Clicgear 3.5+ increased storage by 80% over previous models, adding a new strap system that makes it easier to connect your bag to the cart, and improved umbrella storage. There’s also a reworked brake system that should eliminate any issues with the cable wearing out. Even the cup holder is better.
Tour Trek One Click 360
A Golf Town exclusive, the Tour Trek One Click 360 is simple and convenient—the ideal folding option. With large wheels to absorb and bumps in the landscape, and a front wheel that rotates 360 degrees, this is a cart with plenty of storage. The details are nailed—with clever additions like a storage for your smart phone, and an area to hold your rain suit.
Sun Mountain Pathfinder
One of the stalwarts of push carts for 20 years, Sun Mountain continues to improve its Pathfinder, making it lighter, easier to fold and more compact than practically anything on the market. Weighing less than 20 pounds, and with a simple system to break them down and tuck away in your trunk, the Pathfinder is a push cart you’ll want to investigate. *Available May 2019 in select stores and golftown.com.
Electric Carts
Electric carts are the most convenient way to walk the course. Equipped with GPS, remote control options, and longer-lasting batteries, while being lighter and more compact, an electric cart is like having your very own caddie for every round.
Motocaddy S5
First hitting the market in 2017, the S5 is one of the most sophisticated electric carts, with Bluetooth connectivity that allows it to be synced to a phone. The digital display can be used in place of a GPS, and the cart can be set up to notify the golfer of incoming calls or texts, as well as alerts from apps like Facebook. With USB charging built-in, this is the electric cart for the digital age.
Motocaddy S1
Easy to fold, and offering nine speed settings, this is the perfect introduction for golfers looking for an electric cart. If you’re looking for GPS and remote-controlled features, you’re not going to find them in the S1. But you’ll get a reliable, relatively inexpensive option with a new streamlined battery tray that allows you to use the full range of batteries offered by Motocaddy.
MGI Zip Navigator
If you’re going to invest in an electric cart, you might as well have it do the work for you. That’s the benefit of the MGI Zip Navigator—you walk free and your cart does the work. With a directional remote control, the Navigator allows you to control the speed and its automatic downhill speed control means you’ll never have it run away on you. Tackle the toughest golf courses with ease—or at least your cart will. *Available May 2019 in select stores and golftown.com.
