There’s a reason more golfers are choosing to walk the course these days. You get more exercise, a better feel for the layout and, in many cases, you can enjoy a more relaxed pace that lets you enjoy the round instead of rushing through it. And, maybe best of all, no cart fee!
The only downside? Carrying your bag for four-plus hours can be a strain on your back and shoulders.
That’s where a good push cart comes in. Today’s models are lighter, fold smaller and include features like built-in storage, drink holders, umbrella mounts and simple one-step setups that make walking the course easier than ever. And while motorized push carts are gaining popularity, we’re sticking to human-powered models in this round-up (we’ll cover the motorized variety soon.)
Whether you’re looking for premium performance, a cart for rugged terrain or a cart that practically unfolds itself, we have you covered below.
If there’s one push cart that’s become the top-pick for convenience, it’s the Bag Boy Nitron. Its nitrogen-powered auto-open mechanism unfolds in seconds with virtually no effort, making setup one of the easiest you’ll find. Lift and pop! It’s open. No screws or levers, just a simple motion and you’re ready to go. At just under 17 pounds, it’s surprisingly lightweight while remaining incredibly stable. Bag Boy’s Top-Lok system also securely locks compatible golf bags into place, eliminating bag twist during your round.
1 thing we really like: The auto-open system is genuinely satisfying!
If storage space is at a premium, the Big Max Blade Trio deserves a serious look. Its innovative flat-fold design folds down smaller than almost any push cart on the market, making it easy to fit in even the most crowded trunk. Despite its smaller size, it rolls smoothly and provides the stability and storage golfers expect from a premium push cart. Comes in different colors, too.
1 thing we really like: If you have a small trunk, this push cart folds down to save as much room as possible.
Long considered one of the gold standards in push carts, the Clicgear Model 4.5 builds on its reputation with an updated console, improved storage, a redesigned drink holder, and cleaner internal cable routing. It folds down to a compact size for easy transport while delivering the rugged construction and smooth performance that have made Clicgear a favorite among walking golfers for years. Comes in different colors to choose from.
1 thing we really like: Between the phone holder, magnetic storage, ball holder, and easy access to your essentials, everything you need is right at your fingertips.
The Speed Cart X is the latest evolution of Sun Mountain’s iconic push cart, offering thoughtful upgrades without changing what made the original cart so popular. Enhanced wheels roll effortlessly across any terrain, while stainless steel hardware, an improved brake system, and an updated umbrella holder add durability and convenience where you need it. It’s a premium push cart designed for golfers who walk often and want a rugged cart that will last a long, long time.
1 thing we really like: The upgraded wheels are really nice and roll nicely. Nice brake cabling, too.
For golfers who want maximum stability and who maybe carry a bigger bag, the Sun Mountain Pathfinder PX4 features a four-wheel design made to tackle any type of terrain. It folds in just two simple steps and includes plenty of built-in storage, including a large accessory console, mesh basket, valuables pouch, and drink holder. Updated features like a one-piece handle and dual umbrella mounts make this cart even more versatile for frequent walkers.
1 thing we really like: Four wheels are super helpful on hilly courses or rough terrain.
