Best Golf Carts 2020
Golf carts have grown in popularity over the past few years. Brands like Motocaddy, PowaKaddy, Stewart Golf and a whole host more have manufactured, refined and developed their push carts, electric models and even remote control designs to make the job of walking the golf course more convenient and importantly, easier on the body.

Well this is where this post comes in as we have looked to give you an idea on some of the best in the business. Additionally the other guides below will also help inform your buying decision too.

Best Golf Carts 2020
JuCad Drive SL Travel 2.0 Ex Golf Cart
+ Robust and yet elegant frame
+ Remote control function worked well during testing
– For the price you may expect more features
One of the best remote control golf trolleys out there right now, the JuCad Drive SL worked brilliantly during our testing. It is very light and can be folded away quickly and tidily into a small size, ideal if you have a small car or little storage space at home. Indeed because of this, and because it breaks down into a number of small pieces, it is also a cart that is ideal for taking abroad or on your next golf trip to Pinehurst or Bandon.

Stewart Golf R1-S Push Cart
+ Folding mechanism works well
+ Very easy to push around the course
+ Good colour choice
– May not work as well with a stand bag on it
Stewart Golf has improved its R1 Push cart with this R1-S model. During testing we thought the folding mechanism worked excellently and the ease of use when walking and pushing it makes it one of the best golf carts around. The splash of colour differentiates it further too.

Motocaddy M5 GPS Golf Trolley
+ Compact and quick folding mechanism
+ Touch screen is crystal clear
– Folding latches can be stiff
Sitting at the top of the Motocaddy range right now is the M5 GPS cart. It looks great, folds down nicely and we particularly liked the hi-res 3.5” LCD display that can be controlled in all weather conditions, even when wearing a glove. The screen can also give yardages, track scores and the time of your round.
It is also very easy to use thanks to the drive system which is very efficient and reliable.

PowaKaddy FX7 GPS Golf Trolley
+ Folds up and down with incredible ease
+ Impressive display that is easy to navigate.
– Adjusting the handle height is a fiddly process
The FX7 GPS by PowaKaddy is a marked improvement on the last generation’s model. It can fold down 20 per cent smaller thanks to the removal of the central pillar and we also found the high visibility full colour Touch Screen to be easy to use and clear to the eye. The integrated GPS also gives yardages to the front, middle and back of the green too which could inform your club choices.

One of the most slender designs on this list, Big Max has constructed this Ti Lite with a simple, quick fold mechanism that weighs just over 10 pounds. It also has ample storage, accommodates any size golf bag well and the five year warranty when registered with the brand adds to the value too.

Motocaddy Cube Push Cart
+ Compact and light
+ Easy to push even on hilly courses
– Be a little careful on side slopes
Motocaddy has created a top-notch cart design here. The two-step folding system is simple and easy to use, whilst the manoeuvrability is excellent too. We do recommend being slightly careful on side slopes though because of the lightweight design, but realistically you could say this about most push carts.

Cube Golf 3.0 Push Cart
+ Small folded footprint
+ Robust and light construction
– May struggle to accommodate a large cart bag
From Motocaddy’s Cube, to Cube’s very own 3.0 Push Cart, this is a lightweight and robust model which will keep your bag well in place. It folds down nicely, has a good aesthetic look to it and we feel it ticks a lot of boxes indeed.

PowaKaddy TwinLine 4 Push Cart
+ Simple compaction mechanism
+ Easy manoeuvrability
– Not as compact when folded as other push trolleys on this list
At just 15 pounds in total weight, PowaKaddy has created a very lightweight option here that has a compact folding mechanism as well as on-course adjustability. Three large wheels make it easy to push and steer, particularly when combined with the comfy handle. The accessory station is also well designed and easy to access.

Stewart Golf X9 Follow Golf Cart
+ Top of the market model
+ Follow function leaves your hands free
– Heavy weight makes it difficult to lift into your car
One of the best carts money can buy, the X9 Follow from Stewart Golf has a unique Bluetooth feature that lets it follow you around the course, without the need for remote control manoeuvring, unless you choose to of course. Admittedly this is a pricey option, but it truly sits atop the tree in terms of technology and you still get excellent levels of grip, stability, and usability too. We also think it looks great so you will undoubtedly make many people at your course very jealous indeed when you turn up to the tee with this cart.

– Doesn’t accommodate stand bags overly well
This PowaKaddy model is ideal for those people who want a cart with GPS functionality, but don’t want to take up a lot of space. When folded down the CT6 GPS is perfect for small storage areas and you can reduce the footprint further by inverting the wheels.

Motocaddy M-Tech Golf Cart
+ Feels superlight out on the course
+ Fantastic looking trolley
+ Full-colour LCD screen was a big plus
– Premium price will put some off
One of our favourite carts on the market, the M-Tech is cutting-edge in every way. The super-lightweight, high-capacity battery and next-generation electronics work seamlessly and it screams premium product with little touches like the carbon fibre styling, leather handle grips and cool wheels.
