There’s been a noticeable evolution in golf transport over the past decade or so: golf cart customizations. Electric carts — once seen only as a means of transporting players to tees — have taken a significant step up in style, as reported by the solo-named journalist Jordan at Whalebone magazine.
Jordan reviews custom-made golf carts, as well as decorative kits for golfers to use on their own.
Rolling Roadster
Considering the price tag associated with purchasing a tricked-out cart, the $2,999 Roadster body kit is an economical way of gaining a cool look that won’t sink a wallet. Post installation, the golfer has a customized look that includes chrome molding, a stainless grill, vintage headlamps and a flaming body. That’s enough to intimidate any opponent in the foursome.
A Slice of Sci-Fi
Made by Garia, a golf “car” manufacturer from Denmark (in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz), this futuristic beauty has:
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Touchscreen scorecards
- Built-in refrigerator
It’s also got a retail price tag that unsurprisingly lofts into the sky: $73,000.
Unbridled Beauty
In the ultimate highway-to-fairway transition, the classic Ford Mustang is now an option for golfers seeking a retro-cool way to navigate 18 holes. At nearly $19,000, these babies offer:
- Custom, 12-inch aluminum wheels
- Classic grille logo
- Color options that include the brand’s iconic cherry red
Hummering Those Drives
This body kit turns a humble golf cart into a military-style Hummer, creating a distinct and customizable look at a friendly price point ($2,195). Once installed, the result is a cart with the hood vent, front grill, headlights, taillights and hinged tailgate from the large-sized version.
