While golf carts may appear to be relatively standard in size the dimensions do differ quite a bit. This is important for storage, comfort, and ease of use. We will explain the average golf cart dimensions.<\/p>\n
Golf carts have become a common sight on most golf courses and are used more frequently for transport than ever before.<\/p>\n
Most golf courses cater to standard-sized golf carts and have designed their cart paths accordingly. However, as we all know, golf equipment manufacturers do not like to follow competitors and comply with standards set by the opposition.<\/p>\n
How do you make sure that your cart will be able to cross bridges and get up a steep hill if there is no standard?<\/p>\n
Firstly, let\u2019s consider the average width of golf course pathways.<\/p>\n
Generally, cart paths that are in the open are not a problem since you can navigate your way around obstacles.<\/p>\n
The biggest concern is when you encounter narrow bridges or tunnels that are of a specific size. It is advisable to enquire at the clubhouse whether there are any such constraints on the course. The size of the parking space available in your garage will also play a significant role in your final decision.<\/p>\n
All measurements referred to in this document are from the outer edges of the seats.<\/p>\n
Typically, 2-seater golf carts measure around 4 feet wide, 8 feet long, and 6 feet high.<\/p>\n
On average the front seat of a golf cart is 41 \u00bd inches while the back seat is approximately \u00be inch narrower.<\/p>\n
Most carts have seats that are approximately 20 \u00bd inches deep to allow most golfers to sit comfortably.<\/p>\n
To protect its passengers from the ultraviolet rays crashing down from the sun as well as heavy rain and hail, golf carts come with a roof.<\/p>\n
The cart width plays a significant role in the width of the roof but generally, manufacturers allow for some overhang.<\/p>\n
The length of the cart roof is dependent on the seating configuration. It ranges from 54 inches for a two-seater up to 112 inches for a for-seater or 6 -seater.<\/p>\n
Most carts come with a basket allowing you to store the headcovers or even to place a cooler with welcome refreshments out in the heat.<\/p>\n
On average these baskets measure 18.12 inches wide, 10.25 inches deep, and 17.56 inches high.<\/p>\n
Standard parking space dimensions vary from course to course and country to country according to the most popular carts in the area.<\/p>\n
The standard size parking bay for carts in the United Kingdom measures 7.9 feet wide and 16 feet long. In the USA, the DOT (Department of Transport) set minimum requirements for width is around 9 feet wide and 20 feet long.<\/p>\n
You may want to transport your golf cart to the various golf courses that you regularly play. Ideally, you should use a golf cart trailer for this exceeding the measurements of your golf cart to allow for some space.<\/p>\n
The typical golf cart trailer measures 5 feet wide and 10 feet long to accommodate most brands. Smaller trailers can work provided it is larger than your cart dimensions.<\/p>\n
It can fit on the average-sized pickup truck, but it comes with its own challenges getting it to the higher loading space.<\/p>\n
Carts from the three most popular brands measure as set out below.<\/p>\n
As can be seen from the variation in dimensions there should be a cart to suit any job whether it be for playing golf, as a workhorse, or even just for adventure seekers.<\/p>\n
