If you don't have an electric golf cart, that plug will work great for your freezer. If you have an electric cart, try using one of the GFCI circuits for the golf cart. If you don't have much else on the circuit, it should work fine and if it trips in a storm it's no big deal.
I had that happen to me for YEARS could not figure what was tripping it. Then Boom I realized only when it rained.... I went out side my house and found some area's open to the elements... plugged it up, and never had a problem again.
