Golf Carts

A golf cart is a small, motorized vehicle designed to carry people and cargo across short distances. Originally built for golf courses, today's golf carts serve neighborhoods, resorts, campuses, farms, warehouses, and public roads as street-legal low-speed vehicles. TIGON Golf Carts sells new and used golf carts in electric and gas configurations — 2-seat through 6-passenger — from the industry's most trusted brands, at 15 locations across the Eastern United States with nationwide delivery available.

Types of Golf Carts

Electric Golf Carts

Electric golf carts run on battery packs — traditional lead-acid or modern lithium-ion — and are the dominant choice for neighborhoods, gated communities, campgrounds, and resorts. They produce zero direct emissions, cost roughly 3–5 cents per mile to operate, and need far less maintenance than gas models: no oil changes, no spark plugs, no exhaust systems. Lithium-battery models extend range to 40–80 miles per charge and reduce weight by more than 200 pounds compared to lead-acid packs, improving acceleration and handling.

Gas Golf Carts

Gas golf carts use a small gasoline engine — typically 10–14 horsepower — that refuels in minutes at any gas station. They deliver consistent power on hills and under heavy loads, with a longer effective range per fill-up than most electric carts per charge. Gas models remain the preferred choice for full-size golf courses, large farms, hunting properties, and extended outdoor work where consistent power output and quick refueling matter most.

2-Seat, 4-Seat, and 6-Seat Golf Carts

Standard golf carts seat 2 passengers. Four-seat models — where two rear-facing seats fold down from a rear seat kit — are the most popular choice for families and community use. Six-seat carts accommodate larger groups and are common at resorts, campgrounds, and event venues. Some commercial and utility models seat 8 or feature flat cargo beds in place of rear passenger seating.

Street-Legal Golf Carts — LSV and NEV

A street-legal golf cart is a Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) or Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) that meets federal safety-equipment requirements: headlights, brake lights, turn signals, mirrors, a windshield, seat belts, and a 17-digit VIN. Once titled and registered, it can be driven on roads posted at 35 mph or less where state and local law permits. LSV rules vary by state — TIGON Golf Carts' team can confirm what applies in your area and which models qualify.

Golf Cart Use Cases

Golf carts now serve a wide range of settings beyond the fairway:

  • Residential neighborhoods and gated communities — daily transportation for errands, visiting neighbors, and short commutes within the development
  • Golf courses — the original application; purpose-built 2-seat carts with club storage, beverage holders, and weather protection
  • Resorts, hotels, and campgrounds — 4- and 6-seat models shuttle guests between amenities, campsites, and parking
  • College and university campuses — facilities management, security patrols, and accessible transportation across large grounds
  • Warehouses and industrial facilities — cargo and personnel movement within large buildings and distribution centers
  • Farms and ranches — utility carts for hauling tools, feed, equipment, and supplies across large properties
  • Events and venues — efficient crowd and crew movement at stadiums, fairgrounds, outdoor festivals, and wedding venues

Golf Cart Buying Guide

Four questions determine the right golf cart for your situation:

  • Electric or gas? — Electric for neighborhoods, low maintenance, and quiet operation. Gas for extended range, large properties, and demanding terrain.
  • New or used? — New carts carry factory warranties and current features. Properly inspected used carts save 30–60% of new-cart cost.
  • How many seats? — 2-seat for individuals or couples, 4-seat for families and most residential use, 6-seat for groups, resort, or event duty.
  • Street-legal or standard? — If you plan to drive on public roads, you need an LSV or NEV with the federally required safety equipment and a VIN.

Golf cart prices range from $2,500 for quality used electric models to $18,000+ for new lithium-battery street-legal LSVs. 0% APR financing is available on qualifying new and used carts through TIGON Golf Carts' lending partners — apply online or call 1-844-844-6638 to get a payment that fits your budget.

What is the difference between a golf cart and an LSV?

A golf cart is a broad term for any small, low-speed motorized vehicle. Standard golf carts are designed for off-road and private-property use and are not street legal. An LSV (Low-Speed Vehicle) is a golf cart equipped with federally required safety gear — headlights, brake lights, turn signals, mirrors, a windshield, seat belts, and a 17-digit VIN — and registered for use on public roads posted 35 mph or less. All LSVs are golf carts, but not all golf carts are LSVs. Related: Low Speed Vehicles, Street-Legal Vehicles
