Golf Carts For Sale in United Kingdom

About Golf Carts

Although they get their name from a popular sport, golf carts or golf buggies are used for a wide range of applications in a variety of locations outside of golf courses, including car dealerships, retirement communities, factories, amusements parks, zoos, airports, and more. There are even street-legal golf carts and similar machines that can legally travel on certain roads with proper insurance coverage.

Types Of Golf Carts

Club Car Tempo Golf Cart

The term “golf cart” technically applies to push and pull versions as well as “autonomous caddies,” but the two most common self-propelled golf buggy types are electric and petrol. People in such locations as golf courses and urban environments and communities typically favor electric golf carts because they are quiet, zero-emission vehicles. Petrol-powered golf carts often have larger engines and are more powerful, but noise and emissions are a concern. For that reason, some enthusiasts purchase custom golf carts or buy kits to convert them into off-road vehicles similar to utility vehicles.

Regardless of type, golf carts typically seat two to four passengers with storage space in the rear for golf clubs or other cargo, but there are some models available that sacrifice rear storage for two or more extra seats. Golf carts may come with or without a canopy, and some models feature cargo boxes that make them ideal for golf management tasks with plenty of space for carrying buckets of balls, turf maintenance equipment, and more.

On The Road

Street-legal golf buggies require several car-like components, including headlights, turn signals, brake lights, tail lights, mirrors, seat belts, a shatter-resistant windscreen, and other features. They are ideal for people who live on or near golf courses and want to be able to drive their carts from their homes to the course without needing a separate vehicle that’s more expensive to operate. They’re also well-suited to environmentally conscious users who want to maintain a small carbon footprint while running errands at local shops. Laws and limits vary from place to place, so be sure to check local regulations before you purchase a golf cart you intend to drive on public roads.
