I'm assuming you have a Yamaha. Maintenance recommendations are in your owner's manual. If you don't have a copy, go to the following website:

YAMAHA GOLFCARS OWNER'S MANUALS

Here is what I do for our 2014 Yamaha, we put on 200 hours per year:

Every 50 hours: oil change (this is about 900 miles and a bit sooner than the 1250 mile recommendation in the owner's manual, currently using Mobil 1 5W-30)

Every 200 hours: lube clutches, adjust brake cable if necessary (inboard wet brake in differential), inspect starter/generator belt and drive belt, wash pre-air filter and blow out pleated air filter, other miscellaneous things as suggested by the owner's manual

Every 300 hours: rotate tires and check alignment (toe only)

Every 500 hours: replace differential fluid (I use the Yamaha friction modified gear oil, 1.8 quarts)

Every 1000 hours: replace air filters and spark plug (probably overkill)
