When Should You Upgrade Your Golf Cart?

Golf carts help golfers and their caddies move around a golf course more easily by helping them save time and energy. However, they are subject to wear and tear with time. After you’ve used your golf cart for over half a decade, you may notice that it is not as efficient as it used to be. So, when is the best time to upgrade? Here at Arizona Ranch & Resort Cars in Prescott Valley, Arizona, we know all about golf carts. Here are a few things to look out for.

It Moves Slowly

If your golf cart is moving more slowly than before, it’s time for an upgrade. When it's golf season or you have a big tournament, you want your golf cart to be able to move quickly.

A slow golf cart will mean a lot of time is wasted on moving from one hole to another. Thus, the round takes more time than it should. To avoid this, before you step onto a golf course, ensure your golf cart can hit the speeds you're looking for.

You can boost your golf cart’s speed by upgrading your battery from the standard voltage of 36 to 48.

It Is Not as Powerful as It Should Be

Another instance when you want to upgrade your golf cart is when it isn't as powerful on the golf course. Low power on a golf cart means it won’t go over a steep hillside or you can’t drive over a bumpy terrain.

You don’t want to walk whenever you come across a steep hill during a round on the golf course. You need to save as much time as possible so that you can focus on the game. For this, your golf cart may need a few upgrades to give you more power. 

You should install features like lift kits, add more torque, upgrade your motor and get bigger wheels for better results.

You Need to Carry More

If it happens that you can’t accommodate everything and everyone you want to accompany you to a golf course, it might be time for an upgrade. You can have more people who want to tag along during a game, or you could be interested in bringing a few drinks with you.

You can turn your golf cart from the typical two-seater into accommodating more people by utilizing the rear space. You can also use the space in back for a bit of extra storage room.

This will end up making the whole experience better for you and your passengers!
