The game of golf dates way back to the 15th century in Scotland, but we didn’t start seeing golf carts being driven around the courses until the 1930s.
Tired of walking from hole to hole, an engineer named Lyman Beecher is credited with building the first ride-on cart, which was pulled around by caddies. Beecher eventually added electric batteries to his cart, although it took 6 batteries to complete an 18-hole round.
Fast forward to the 1950s, when both electric and gas-powered golf cart manufacturers began to emerge like Marketeer, Golfmobile, Cushman, Club Car, etc.
Popularity grew quickly, but most golf courses banned carts — until they realized the money they could make from renting them to golfers.
Today, golf carts aren’t just for carting your clubs around but feature high-tech amenities to keep you on you’re A-game, as well as luxury amenities, and can be customized to reflect your personality.
Check out these expensive, custom golf carts that’ll have you golfing in style and luxury:
