Electric v propane heater
I use propane. It is safe IF you anchor it well so it doesn't tip over going around a curve and fall out of the cup holder. also the CO or CO2 concern while it is burning should not be a problem as the sunbrellas are not sealed very well and let enough air in. If you are concerned put a shim in your front windshield to let in a little air (kinda defeats the purpose of the heater though). If you leave your propane on while golfing in and out of cart make sure you zip up the sides at least enough to keep the inside warm and so the wind doesn't blow the curtain onto burner to start a fire.
Using a 12v/110 inverter you may be able to run a small electric heater. the inverter should have a fuse so you don't blow the main cart fuse. Make sure you get the proper rated inverter for the heater in amps. Don't over work the inverter by drawing too much current. You will be limited in wattage. Carts are just not designed to be heated, they don't have the wiring, fusing, and to leave a heater on while not running strains the battery. The air flow in a cart is not meant to be sealed so the air easily comes in cracks and spaces. the golf cart is not insulated.Any heat is easily dissipated quickly below 40 degrees.
