10 Golf Car Buying Tips with Rutledge Wood

Thinking about upgrading your ride on the green (or beyond)? TV host and gearhead Rutledge Wood shares his top 10 must-know tips before you buy a golf cart. Whether you’re cruising the neighbourhood or managing a worksite, here’s how to make the right choice—Club Car style.

1. Fit & Finish Matter

First impressions count. Hop into a Club Car and you’ll see the difference—premium stitching, sleek finishes on the rims, and a design that screams quality. When a brand is known for craftsmanship, like Club Car, you know you’re in good hands.

2. Ride in Comfort

This isn’t just a golf cart—it’s your ride. Comfort is key. From legroom to seat cushioning, and overall layout, the way your car is designed will define the experience.

3. Know Your Usage

Ask yourself: What’s this golf car for? Zipping around the neighbourhood in a street legal golf cart? Hauling tools on the jobsite? Club Car offers specialised models for personal, utility, or commercial use. Pick the one that fits your lifestyle.

4. The Frame Game

Here’s a game-changer: Club Car uses an exclusive AlumiCor™ frame—that means no rust, no corrosion. Most competitors still use steel, and in the long run, that makes all the difference.

5. Gas or Electric?

Your power choice matters. Think about how often you’ll use it, and how far you’ll go. Club Car offers both gas and electric options, so whether you’re eco-minded or looking for a little extra power, they’ve got your back.

6. Trust the Brand

Club Car has been leading the pack for nearly 60 years. Their legacy is built on performance, reliability, and constant innovation. When you buy a Club Car, you’re buying into a reputation that’s well-earned.

7. Safety First

Golf cars may be fun, but safety still matters. Club Car takes it seriously, with models that meet strict safety standards—because protecting your crew or family is always a priority.

8. Service & Parts Access

Don’t get stuck waiting weeks for parts. Club Car offers a solid service network and reasonably priced components, meaning your vehicle is always ready to roll.

9. Make It Yours

Club Car vehicles are 100% customizable—from colours and wheels to seating and tech. Your ride, your rules.

10. Built to Last

When properly maintained, Club Car vehicles can last 20 years or more. That’s what a quality build looks like.

Ready to Roll?

If you’re looking for a golf car that’s big on quality, style, and performance—Club Car is the name to know.
