Choosing the right Club Car golf cart goes beyond appearance. Whether you’re managing a gated estate, resort, golf course or game lodge, the powertrain you select plays a key role in long-term efficiency, operating costs, and overall guest or staff experience.
With Club Car’s trusted range of electric and petrol carts – and the expert support of AFGRI Equipment – you can tailor your fleet to perfectly suit your environment and daily demands.
Why Electric Carts Make Sense
Electric Club Car models are a popular choice for estates, resorts and hospitality operations that prioritise a smooth, quiet ride and low running costs.
- Whisper-quiet operation – Ideal for guest comfort and early mornings
- Low cost per use – Charge overnight for just a few rand
- Zero emissions – Better for the environment and indoor use
- Ideal for short, flat routes – Perfect for in-resort transport or golf course navigation
If your focus is on luxury experience, peaceful surroundings, or sustainability targets, electric carts are a clear winner.
When Petrol Carts Are the Better Option
Petrol-powered Club Car carts provide more power and range – making them ideal for rugged environments, longer distances, or operational roles beyond guest transport.
- Extended range – No need to stop and recharge
- Powerful on inclines and uneven terrain – Great for game lodges and hilly estates
- Quick refuelling – No downtime when compared to battery charging
- Robust performance – Suited for utility or maintenance tasks
They’re especially useful in applications where uptime and terrain handling are critical.
Should You Consider a Hybrid Fleet?
Many estates and resorts in South Africa find that the best solution is a combination of both:
- Electric carts for guest transport, golf use and light-duty trips
- Petrol carts for staff operations, maintenance, or utility functions
This approach maximises both cost efficiency and performance across different applications on your property.
