The Perfect Gift Holiday Guide for the Golf Cart Enthusiast

It’s the holiday season, so start making your list and checking it twice! Whether you’re gearing up to battle the mall crowds or planning your strategy for Cyber Monday, we’ve found the best gifts for the golf cart owner golf on your list.

Golf Cart Accessories

Owning a golf cart is fun, but having some accessories and nifty gadgets can make it even better. There are thousands of great accessories for every taste and budget.

Floor Mats: A great utilitarian gift that can be fun, too! Floor mats for the golf cart will help to keep it clean. And, with so many colorful mats on the market, it can also add a touch of style. Choose a mat with their favorite sports team or one with a tropical motif for a great gift.

Seat Heater: Living in a colder climate? Those vinyl golf cart seats get cold, fast! Extend the golf cart season with a rechargeable seat heater. You can choose between single and double sizes and keep them riding in comfort all year round.

Horn: A golf cart horn is a great stocking stuffer! It’s not necessarily something they would buy for themselves, but we’re sure it will provide a little extra entertainment on their golf cart outings. Maybe not the best idea for the impatient golfer, though!

Roof Rack: Who doesn’t love a little extra storage? A roof rack is a perfect gift for the golf cart enthusiast who takes his cart everywhere. It’s perfect to make room for all of those beach accessories or picnic supplies without displacing passengers.

Enclosure: This is another great gift to extend the golf cart season. A quality enclosure will keep the wind and any weather off while trapping heat inside. They’re also available in camouflage if your gift recipient takes the golf cart hunting!

Sound System: Why not listen to your tunes as you drive? A golf cart all-in-one sound system is easy to install, takes very little set up, and provides great sound. If the golf cart owner is an audiophile, give them a custom system to install in their cart. With high-tech features like touchscreen displays and Bluetooth connectivity, you can help turn their golf cart into a jukebox on wheels.

Charge Meter: It’s terrible to run out of juice in the middle of your day! They’re simple to install and easy to read. This little gadget will tell you exactly how much power you have left so you’re never stranded.

Fan: Nothing is worse than a hot day with no breeze. Relieve the heat with a battery powered fan that will sit in the cup holder or clip to the roof support. It will make their next midsummer outing much more comfortable!

Storage Cover: Unfortunately, golf carts can’t go everywhere, so sometimes it must be stored. Whether they store it in the garage or under an outdoor awning, help them keep it in pristine condition with a protective storage cover. These water resistant covers will protect it from dirt and moisture so there’s less clean-up to get it going.

Cooler: Cold beverages are the perfect accessory to a spin in the golf cart. Make sure there’s always one at hand with a cooler mount! There are a few different options for mounts – hitch mounts, fender mounts, and even a front cowl mount. Pick one with a large capacity to keep them stocked up all day long.

Hitch: Putting a trailer hitch on a golf cart may seem ridiculous, but there are so many great uses for it! Give them the perfect hitch for their golf cart to maximize its versatility.

Golf Cart Style

We all love to personalize our vehicles, so why wouldn’t you do the same with your golf cart? The golf cart industry has grown significantly, over the past few years, so there are more options out there than ever.

Seat Covers: Help them keep seats clean and comfortable while preserving the golf cart style with a custom seat cover. These can be as simple as a blanket that attaches to the armrests or an intricate full slipcover. A terrycloth cover with palm trees is great for the beach or give one that says “Hole In One” for good luck on the course.

Custom Dash: Is the golf cart owner in your life ready to take it up a notch? A custom dash is an easy upgrade that makes a big impact. Choose one that has chrome accents or a candy paint job for a polished statement. Make sure it has space to install a great sound system, too!

Light Kit: If they want to make their cart street legal, lights are one of the first priorities, but they can be a style statement, too! In addition to head lights, turn signals, and brake lights, get them some under-dash lights or running board lights for a little extra illumination and a big style statement on those evening rides.

Nerf Bars: Golf carts are typically pretty low to the ground, but a set of nerf bars can add a lot of style. A simple bar or a chrome diamond plate, this is a great accessory to give the golf cart a more substantial feel and a little extra shine.

Stylish Steering Wheel: The plain black, plastic steering wheel on a factory golf cart is functional, but with absolutely no flair. Give them a wheel with chrome accents or luxury leather to elevate their driving experience and give the cart a sleek modern look.

Wheels and Wheel Covers: Remember the spinner rims that were a huge trend back in the early 2000s? Well, golf carts are getting in on the custom rim game, too. Chrome rims, low profile tires, lift kits, and decorative hubcap covers are all the rage in golf cart fashion. You can probably skip the spinners, though.

Bumpers: A stock golf cart body is a little, well, bland. Help them jazz up their cart with custom fenders, bumpers, and grille covers in black, chrome, or any color of the rainbow. You can even find some mud flaps for a little extra style statement.

Decals: From sports teams to cartoon characters, custom decals are a great idea to give the golf cart a little style without investing in a new body or paint job. You don’t even have to buy these from a golf cart dealer. Any heavy-duty sticker will do the job.

Holiday Decorations

Maximize the festivities by decorating the golf cart for every holiday! Whether they will use it in a parade or just to ride around, holiday decorations will always be appreciated.

Flags: They can be just subtly festive with a seasonal flag flying from the cart. Get them one for each holiday or a couple of their favorite sports teams. You don’t have to go all out to make their cart a little jollier.

Soundtrack: Can you imagine a haunted house without all the creepy noises? If they love to decorate their cart for a Halloween parade, get them the haunted house soundtrack to play to make the costume complete. Or, give them your favorite holiday soundtrack to play in the winter parade.

Power Outlet: The best golf cart decorations always involve lights! Give them the capability to light up the night with a power outlet to install in the dash. It’s a great stocking stuffer that will allow them to really elevate their display.

Inflatables: Think balloons are just for kids’ parties? Think again! Buy them an inflatable dolphin if they like a tropical theme or a Santa for the holidays. Regular balloons can be a great decorating tool, too. The long tube balloons can be wrapped around the roof supports to give the golf cart a totally new silhouette.

Costumes: Their decorations won’t be complete if they aren’t dressed up, too! Give them a costume that will fit in with their favorite decorating scheme. A Hawaiian shirt and grass skirt for a surfer cart, some fairy wings for a fantasy cart, or some fake blood for a zombie cart will make the difference the next time they go out.

Entertainment

You don’t have to be riding in a golf cart to enjoy one! Give them a gift to keep their mind on their cart even when they are relaxing at home or toiling away at their desk.

Books: Whether it is a collection of custom golf carts or a how-to manual for the next upgrade, the golf cart enthusiast will love reading about his favorite thing.

Décor: It seems there is a throw pillow for everything, these days. Log on to an online craft site to find golf carts adorning pillows, throws, clocks, and anything else you can imagine. You could even buy the family a set of golf cart dishes for their next picnic.

Desk Accessories: Liven up their workspace with a little reminder of their favorite leisure activity. A golf cart business card holder or paperweight will be the perfect addition to a hard-working desk. You could even get a set of golf cart logo business cards for someone who is self-employed or who goes to golf cart shows.

Clothing: With the rise of popular craft sites, you can commission just about anything your heart desires. Treat your favorite golf cart enthusiast to a pair of golf cart cufflinks or a golf cart pendant.

Travel Mug: Help them keep their favorite beverage hot or cold in a travel mug with a golf cart decal—but not just any golf cart. Use a photograph of their cart as the image on this perfect stocking stuffer.

Funcaster Barometer: This handy battery operated tool will allow your golfer, hunter or joy-rider to know the time, temperature, humidity, and weather while riding around and preparing for their next activity.

For Those Who Don’t Yet Own a Golf Cart

For the, unfortunately, golf-cart-less, there are still some great accessories you can buy that they can use in their rented cart at each golf game.

Cup Holder Organizer: Make sure their phone, pencil, and other important golf needs are right where they should be with a cup holder organizer. It’s perfect for the car or for the golf cart. There are also cup holder mounts for tablets and smartphones to keep them easily accessible while riding in the cart.

Cigar Clip: A good cigar with a round of golf is a necessity! Give them an easy way to store it when they step up for their next swing. A cigar clip can attach easily to any surface and holds a cigar firmly in place whether the cart is moving or not.

Bluetooth Speaker: Let them enjoy some music on their next golf outing with a portable Bluetooth speaker. These battery-operated speakers come in all shapes and sizes, so find one that will fit in the cup holder or hang from the roof of the cart. They’re simple to use; it just takes a minute to pair your device, and then you’re ready to go.

Golf Cart: If you really love them, you’ll buy them the golf cart of their dreams! Golf carts aren’t just for the golf course anymore. There are plenty of reasons a golf cart is the perfect addition to your family’s modes of transportation. Do a little research on the different types of carts, and you’ll have one happy camper on Christmas morning.

Vacation: For the golf-cart-deprived, a vacation to an island where golf carts are the only mode of transportation will be heaven! There are plenty of these islands, mostly in Florida, so find one that will suit your family—and get packing!

Even if you are not initiated into the world of golf carts, you can find the perfect gift for the golf cart driver on your list. Find a local golf cart store in your area for expert advice in person or choose one of the reputable online shops with good reviews so your gift will arrive in time to be wrapped up under the tree.
