How to Choose the Right Size Golf Course Vehicle for Your Golf Turf?

On a serene morning, the delight of playing golf always feels enticing. The craze of playing golf on a leisurely evening and the weekends has been fascinating the golf lovers for a long time. The smooth and curvy golf course blanketed with fresh green grass, further makes the golfers unstoppable to take out the golf stick, aim the cup buried in the ground, and hit the shot.

Although the broad and wide expanse of the golf course brings charm to golf lovers, moving across it between the shots has always been a struggle, especially when the golf course is gigantic. Here, a golf course vehicle acts as a panacea. Usually, they are called golf course carts and buggies but are also dubbed golf course cars. Though both terms are used interchangeably, the basic difference is that golf carts are usually smaller in size to carry 2-4 people, while golf cars are bigger to carry more passengers and come with more features. 

Golf course cart comes in different sizes with varying seating capacities, performance, and accessories. Based on seating capacity, it comes in 2 seater, 4 seater, 6 seater, and even 8 seater. 

To consider the appropriate size of the cart for your golf field, there is not a single comprehensive criterion. But here is a catalog of key points you need to keep in mind before choosing the right-sized golf course vehicle.

Parameters  to Choose the Right Size Golf Course Vehicle for Your Golf Turf

A golf course vehicle is used in diverse milieus, covering commercial, residential, sporting, and campus transportation purposes. But when it comes to sports, these buggies are bought to keep and use on the golf field. Here the things that matter are the number of golf buddies in the field and the topography of the golf course that decides which cart you should go with. Taking other parameters into consideration, let’s get a brief of all the points.  

1. The Number of Passengers – Golf is an enthralling sport that can either be played solo or in a group. There is no limit on players in golf, but 4-player golf, called foursome, is very popular. As the golf cart size depends on the number of players to be conveyed in the cart, it becomes vital to consider the number of seats we prefer before buying a buggy. For solo gamers, a two-seater vehicle will be good. But a 4-8 seater cart is necessary for the group players or the club teams. 
2. Storage and Cargo Space – A sport comprises three aspects: the players, the ground, and the equipment. Apart from players, the second most crucial point to focus on is the cargo space in the golf vehicle. The golf clubs, golf balls, gloves, tees to hold the ball, ball makers, golf divot tools, etc. are exigent parts of golf. All these are segregated and stuffed in your golf bag or trolly, which also needs space in your golf buggy. The extreme hind part of the buggy is specialized for carrying the cargo, which you should always examine before buying one. Another point to mull over is to find one with sufficient spacing between the seats to maintain the comfort of your buddies.
3. Golf Course Accessibility and Terrain – Although this factor doesn’t deeply affect the size of the cart, the performance that it delivers should probably align with the terrain of the golf course turf. Some carts are not efficient to drive on the inclined curvy field, and can probably tumble off when fully packed. In such situations, shorter golf carts are favored. For a field with even topography, a longer cart will work wonders. 
4. Scope of Maneuverability –  With an increase in the seating capacity of the cart, its dimensions also change and so does its agility. Similarly, the turning radius of the cart, which differs from the length of the cart, also matters a lot. A shorter turning radius eases the maneuverability and smoothens the movement over close cuts. As the size of the cart affects the maneuverability, it becomes a crucial parameter to consider. 
5. Budget – The last but most important aspect is how much the golf course vehicle will impact your finances. Certainly, the budget of the buggy squeezes and stretches with its respective size, performance, and the accessories it possesses. The prices also depend on the brand and the model we choose. Hence it becomes essential to explore the size, features, and accessories of the buggy based on the budget.

Way Ahead.

The size of the golf course buggy to choose from depends on the broad requirement that one has. Apart from the above points, some additional supplementing aspects to map the plan are maintenance and durability, safety features, weather protection, user-friendly controls, and customization options provided in your cart. Keeping the above-contemplating points in mind, enumerate the options you have probed, and adjust them to your requirements. The memories we frame in golf are less about the shots, but more about the time between the shots. Make sure you knit these memories with comfort, laughs, chats, and unforgettable tales in your golf course vehicle.
