Whoever said golfing was a boring sport apparently never tried a standing golf cart. These new and trending devices bring the fun back into golf – not that the sport itself isn’t entertaining enough. Let’s face it: who wouldn’t want to drive around on a motorized skateboard-like device over endless fields of green?
If that sounds somewhat exciting to you, then you will love what’s to come. Over the following top, we’re going to review some of the greatest, most fun golf carts available. Although there aren’t that many models now, there’s enough variety to make it a difficult choice. We’re here to make that decision easier. And don’t worry – the standing golf cart seems to be so popular, many other models are sure to appear.

Add a steering wheel (or rod), and a small golf ball pouch in the back and there you have it – the perfect golf cart.

2. The Ride On Golf Cart Scooter
While the name is not that inspired, this cart looks and feels amazing. Even if the former spot on our list is inspired by skateboards, this one ups the ante on that. It’s much more maneuverable than the Golf Skate, and its battery can last for a bit longer. However, it has its downsides: it can’t hold more than one person, and it’s slightly weaker. With its tiny motor, it can only climb 20° inclines.
Strong points:
- Lightweight build, active
