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, (who are not Affiliate Partners of our publication), 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.
