8 Best Golf Push Carts to Carry Your Clubs

For a smooth pushing experience, the Sun Mountain Golf Pathfinder PX3 is a great option for most people. Stretchy bungee cords hold your golf bag securely in place, and it’s loaded with an accessory console that can hold your cell phone, scorecard, extra balls and tees. That means you won’t be fishing around your golf bag and slowing down the pace of play. There’s even a slot for a charging cable to use with a portable charger, and we love that there’s an additional mesh pouch that can hold a small bag or head covers while you walk.

Our tester has used this cart for walking 9-hole and 18-hole courses and found that the wheels are large and sturdy to get over a variety of terrain — which is especially helpful if you end up in the woods. It can be a little bulky to pull in and out of a vehicle but features like an umbrella holder and a cup holder make up for it.

If you don’t want to spend too much on a golf push cart but still don’t want to lug your clubs over your shoulder, this option from Jef World Of Golf is a good bet for under $50. It only has two wheels, which means you’ll have to tip the cart while you walk, but that isn’t too much of a hassle. Plus, it ensures your bag won’t roll away if you forget to lock the wheels. It’s super lightweight and can fold up small enough to store in your car at all times.

It's low on frills and its only accessory is a waterproof scorecard holder but is a great choice for anyone who wants something simple and streamlined.

This electric pick from Motocaddy is for those who don’t actually want to push their push cart. It’s operated by the included remote control that works up to 150 feet away and moves forward, left, right and backward, so you can expend minimal energy and focus on your game. There’s also anti-tip control on the large wheels if you go downhill or experience any rough terrain. It has plenty of additional accessories, including a phone cradle, drink holder, umbrella holder, scorecard holder and a USB charging cable.

You can also still push the cart — which is good if you forget to charge it the night before. But the brand claims the battery is good for 27 holes, but that can vary depending on the pace of play. It folds up too but can be a little bulkier than analog models.

Available in four bright colors, the Clicgear Model 4.0 Golf Push Cart is a flashy option for the fairway. It’s wide and easy to load up, which also makes it sturdy and stable even if you need to push it up an incline. The silicone bag strap system keeps your golf bag in place, and it folds up compactly, making it easy to store. There are thoughtful accessories like a scorecard, golf ball, pencil and tee holders, an umbrella holder, a water bottle holder and a large storage net for housing additional accessories.

The front wheel is fixed, which can make it harder to maneuver at times but it shouldn’t be an issue for most.

For more stability, you may want to consider a golf push cart that has four wheels rather than three. While a bit bulkier, the Bag Boy Quad XL is a great choice that has a secure bag-locking feature to prevent your golf bag from twisting around while the cart is rolling. It does fold up to be quite compact for transport and has a lot of functionality with the brake on the handle and an extra-deep scorecard console to store balls, tees and more. The two fixed wheels up front can make it a bit challenging to steer at first, but if you're prone to knocking a push cart over, it’s worth it.

If you want to carry a few brews with you (and water to stay hydrated!), you’ll want to have a cooler on hand — which can be tricky to carry in a push cart, but the Caddytech solves that problem. The bottom compartment acts as a cooler, or it can be used for storing other accessories. It also comes with an umbrella holder, scorecard holder, GPS holder and a mesh net for small stuff on the handle.

Reviewers say that it can be a bit tricky to fold and unfold at first, but it quickly becomes second nature once you get used to the mechanism. Just note that if you overstuff it, the added weight can make the cart more likely to tip over, but the four wheels add extra stability.

One of the biggest frustrations with a push cart can be turning it to get to your ball that wound up in the sand trap. With a smaller front wheel, the Big Max IQ+ Golf Push Cart makes it easier to make tight turns. Otherwise, you’d be lifting the front wheel to get where you need to go. It folds tightly but can unfurl easily with what the brand calls its “one shake” technology. At 7 pounds, it’s pretty lightweight, but that means there isn’t much room for accessories aside from the small scorecard compartment.

If you have limited storage space or want something that will fit in a sedan, the Kaddey Switch will do the trick. The compact design features two large wheels that allow you to move it a bit like a pull cart or a rolling suitcase. It takes up minimal space and means you can store your clubs with it without taking it off the cart each time. You can push or pull it, and despite its small size, there are still a few accessories available such as an umbrella holder and valuables compartment, but they are sold separately. It's light and easy to maneuver, according to online reviewers, but it's not as stable as a three-wheeler so don’t load it up too much or it will tip.
