Enjoy.
That is just too funny>>>You hit all the really important items except LOUD turn signal beeper for the people that actually use them..

I like the 1 piece windshield. No bar in the line of site. No cost difference if you get this while ordering a new cart. 2 upper storage trays, never enough storage.

Definity go to Grandpa & Grandma's Villages Buggies, is on 441 a little north on the left of the 42 and 441 intersection. They have both new and some rehab ones. My sisters that have lived here have bought several carts from them in the past 12 years and would not buy from anyone else. Good luck

If not consider getting a Curtis cab or similar...

I'll be in Ocala tomorrow on unrelated business and I'll be stopping at Carts and Clubs to take a look at what they have. Folks in ToTV seem to like them pretty well. I welcome any advice you might have, but like I said, mainly I don't want to buy a cart and then realize I've missed something really important.
Great thread, polar bear!
I got some ideas myself from these posts.
Any other SERIOUS suggestions out there?

I either enjoy or wish I had


good plastic weather curtains
comfortable seats
lights for interior
seat belts
gas gauge
inexpensive add ons for clock, temperature and compass.


We LOVE having a four seater and a two seater so that when the family comes we can carry almost everyone. The last ones in get strapped to the roof.


Have not wanted or needed a fan or a heater. Like full size rather than some of the custom small carts with doors, especially if you play a lot of golf. Too crowded for two men generally.

oh yes, one more thing...
did you know that most carts do not have a unique key?
My guess is that most times on the planet when a cart is parked it's not available to the public, so the maker doesn't bother to give you a key that only operates your cart.
the key to the glove box is better than the one to the ignition.
