No, you’re not lazy, golf push carts serve an incredibly important purpose when out on the golf course. You use one to put your golf bag onto, allowing you to wheel it around the green with ease instead of having to carry it over your shoulder.
Today’s best golf push carts have been designed to be even more convenient, as they are motorised, so you technically don’t even need to push them. Ok, so this might be a little bit lazy, but when you’re on the golf course, you’ll want to have the best equipment after all. Other innovations have come in the way of pouches for your phone, your keys and all the other contents of your pockets.
They are your best friend on the course, your personal caddy, and picking the right one is a lot more complicated than pushing it around the shop floor to get the feel for it. Does it fit your bag? Can you fit it in the boot? So many questions, and luckily, we have the answers.
Here is a comprehensive guide to the best golf push carts available to buy right now, all of which offer some or all of the features mentioned above. What you can be guaranteed of from any option, however, is a much easier trek around the green.

MGI
3/13Price: From $800
Origin: Victoria, Australia
Customer Reviews: “This rig is awesome! I am 69 and stand 5’2’’. My requirements were to have something that moved by itself, battery life that lasts for 18 holes, and be able to get it in and out of my trunk. This excels on all levels. It is also perfectly designed and engineered. I added a seat later for when I have to wait for players in front of me and I expected to have issues attaching it, but the holes had already been predrilled for everything I wanted to add. I don’t have a remote but I wouldn’t let it get that far away from me anyway. No issues with any terrain. Worth every penny.”
Australian owned and operated, MGI is best known for its motorised carts that make use of the very best technology and smart design. Powered by lithium batteries that ensure long-lasting reliability, these carts utilise technologies such as calibrated motors that keep the cart on track over any terrain and a controlled distance function that automates distance control.
Combine this with functional and comfortable design features such as ergonomic handles, large, rugged wheels that can traverse anything, and fully foldable frames, and you have yourself a cart that will be the perfect on-course companion.

Clicgear
5/13Price: From $309
Origin: Hong Kong
Customer Reviews: “I’ve used it 3 times and it’s made walking much more enjoyable. The silicone straps strike me as an improvement over traditional ones as they’re super easy to use and prevent the bag from twisting. There’s plenty of storage space and the wheels operate smoothly. Really hits all the important marks. It seems very well made so hoping it lasts many years.”

This little cart works perfect for a small adult cart bag and full set of clubs. Stands on its own and the straps work fine for 18 holes.

Jef
12/13Price: From $240
Customer Reviews: “Great product, great price, great deal! Live in The Villages (FL) where there are over 700 holes of golf. Most courses are short executive courses. But even though I have a golf cart, I need to exercise! I purchased this pushcart to force me to walk the short courses. At 75 years of age, I highly recommend this cart if you enjoy walking when you golf. Do be lazy…buy one of these for your health!”
With a push cart available for all budgets, Jef has made sure not to double-down on the quality, instead, making sure their push carts some of the most comfortable to roll around on the course, thus ensuring nothing gets in the way of you getting that low score.
The Deluxe comes in on the lower-end of the budget spectrum, serving up a lightweight steel frame and clips that make slipping on your golf bag a no-fuss process. The EZ Fold 360 comes in on the higher-end and includes an ergonomic handle and all round maneuverability to make that trek between holes one so comfortable, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without a cart in the first place.
Izzo
13/13Price: From $138
Origin: Macedon, New York
Customer Reviews: “This pull cart sets up and breaks down quickly and easily. The only caveat is the bungees that came on the cart were so stiff I couldn’t pull hard enough to secure my bag, but I changed out to longer looser bungees and it’s all good. Great pull cart for the price.”
Designed and built with the weekend warrior in mind, Izzo’s push carts were made to be easily stored in the boot of your car and set up within seconds out on the course.
